- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the breading: In a shallow dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the chicken: In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Dip each chicken strip into the garlic butter mixture, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to help it adhere.

- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

- You can use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version of this recipe.
- For an added kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes into the breadcrumb mixture.
