Ingredients
Units
Scale
- :
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing)
Instructions
- :
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge the Chicken: Set up a dredging station with 3 shallow bowls:
- Bowl 1: Flour
- Bowl 2: Beaten eggs
- Bowl 3: Breadcrumb mixture
- Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken goujons on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. Lightly drizzle or spray the top of the goujons with olive oil or cooking spray to help them crisp up.
- Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the goujons are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Serve: Serve your crispy chicken goujons with your favorite dipping sauces, like honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or ketchup. Enjoy!
Notes
- :
- For extra crunch, you can mix some crushed cornflakes into the breadcrumb mixture.
- You can freeze the uncooked goujons for later use. Just place them on a baking sheet and freeze them for 1-2 hours before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag. Bake from frozen at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour.
