Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and ensure each piece is well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Set up a dredging station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.
Remove the marinated chicken strips from the refrigerator. Dip each strip first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Place the coated chicken strips onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced out evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Optionally switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
