Prep the Chicken<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cut the chicken breasts into even strips, about 1-inch wide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Set Up the Breading Station<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prepare three shallow bowls:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bowl 1: Flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bowl 2: Beaten eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bowl 3: Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and parsley.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coat each chicken strip in the flour, shaking off any excess.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dip the floured strip into the beaten egg, ensuring it\u2019s fully coated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, press the strip into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure it\u2019s evenly covered. Press gently to help the crumbs adhere.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Cook the Chicken Strips<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frying Method:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Heat about 1\/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat (about 350\u00b0F\/175\u00b0C).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fry for 3\u20134 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165\u00b0F\/75\u00b0C).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfer the cooked strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baking Method:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack for even crispiness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the breaded chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightly spray the strips with cooking oil to help them crisp up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bake for 15\u201320 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
