Description

Description: These Crispy Baked Chicken Goujons are the perfect combination of crispy, crunchy coating and tender, juicy chicken. Coated in a flavorful mix of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and seasoning, then baked to golden perfection, these goujons are a healthier twist on the classic fried version. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious snack, appetizer, or dinner!


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.
