Parmesan Oven Fried Chicken Strips

happy-chicken

This is more of a method than a recipe.  You could also use chicken legs and thighs and reduce the oven temperature to 375 and increase cooking time to 45 minutes to an hour.  Either way it makes yummy chicken.

Ingredients
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs 
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Cut chicken breasts into 1 1/2-inch sized pieces. In a medium bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, cheese, salt, thyme and basil. Mix well. Put melted butter in a bowl or dish for dipping.
  3. Dip chicken pieces into the melted butter first, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated chicken pieces on a cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet in a single layer, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
