Ingredients

For the chicken strips

  • 2 chicken filets
  •  ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp Pimenton smoked pepper powder
  • ¼ tsp mustard powder optional
  • ¼ tsp chili powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp of chicken seasoning from Albert Heijn if you don't have this add some chicken stock powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cup of Panko or regular breadcrumbs
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 ½ tbsp fresh parsley
  • cooking spray (you can also drizzle olive oil over the strips) you can also drizzle olive oil over the strips
  • For the Dip:
  • 3 tbsp Hellmanns mayo
  • 2 tbsp yoghurt
  • 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp honey 

Instructions

  • Wash the chicken with some vinegar and water and dry it off with some kitchen paper towel. Cut the chicken in strips and place them in a bowl.
  • Add all the dried spices (except for the parsley) to the chicken and mix well.
  • Use two separate bowls. Beat the eggs in one, and mix the Panko or regular breadcrumbs with the Parmesan cheese and parsley in the other. Season the breadcrumb mixture with salt and pepper. Then dip each chicken strip in the egg wash and lay it in the breadcrumbs. Repeat this process twice. NOTE: If you prefer a less thick coating use one egg and divide the breadcrumb mixture by half.
  • Pre-heat the oven on 175 Celsius/347 Fahrenheit. Then prepare a baking tray (I’ve used two) with parchment paper and place the chicken strips on it. Spray some cooking oil on the chicken and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes turn the chicken strips and spray some more cooking oil on the other side. Bake for another 15 minutes. After 30 minutes cut the thickest chicken strip in half and check if it's cooked. If it needs more time pop the strips back in the oven for a few more minutes. You can serve these Parmesan Chicken Strips as a snack but if you like to make it into a meal then serve these in a (corn) tortilla with crunchy veggies (cucumber, carrots, radishes, romaine lettuce and fresh coriander).
