Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders or boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon coarse or kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- ¾ cup Panko bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
To Serve (Optional)
- Ketchup
- Mustard or honey mustard
- Barbecue sauce
Instructions
- If you are using breasts, not tenders, cut the chicken into ½ -inch thick strips.
- In a shallow bowl, stir up the flour with the paprika, salt and pepper. Place the beaten eggs in another shallow bowl. Place the Panko in a third shallow bowl.
- Coat each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then dip them into the beaten eggs, then roll them in the Panko.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté about half of the chicken tenders for about 4 minutes on each side, until lightly browned, and the chicken is cooked through. Remove, set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel, then heat up the rest of the oil, then sauté the rest of the chicken the same way.
- Serve with whatever dipping sauces your kids are into.
