Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko)
  • 1/2 cup parsley (chopped)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 eggs
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 2 pounds chicken breasts (boneless and skinless, cut into long strips)
  • 1 cup ranch dressing (for dipping)

Instructions

  • Start by cutting your boneless, skinless chicken breasts into long strips. Aim for uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
  • In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour and season it with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten. In a third bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, and chopped parsley.
  • Dip each chicken strip into the flour mixture first, ensuring it is well coated. Shake off any excess flour. Then, dip the floured strip into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres well.
  • In a large frying pan, heat about an inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. You can check if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, you’re good to go!
  • Carefully add the breaded chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use tongs to flip them as needed.
  • Once cooked, transfer the chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with ranch dressing for dipping, and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness of your Parmesan Chicken Strips!
