### **Ingredients:**

– **2 large chicken breasts** (boneless, skinless)
– **1 cup all-purpose flour**
– **1 teaspoon paprika**
– **1 teaspoon garlic powder**
– **1 teaspoon onion powder**
– **1 teaspoon dried oregano**
– **1/2 teaspoon salt**
– **1/4 teaspoon black pepper**
– **2 large eggs**
– **1 cup breadcrumbs** (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– **1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese** (optional, for extra flavor)
– **Vegetable oil** (for frying)

### **Instructions:**

#### **Step 1: Prep the Chicken**

Start by cutting the chicken breasts into strips of your desired thickness. For tender, juicy chicken, aim for strips that are about 1 to 1.5 inches wide. You can also use chicken tenders for an even quicker option.

#### **Step 2: Make the Coating**

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Finally, in a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese (if using). Mix the breadcrumbs to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed.

#### **Step 3: Dredge the Chicken Strips**

Now, it’s time to coat the chicken strips. First, dip each strip into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Shake off any excess flour, then dip the strip into the beaten eggs, followed by the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs gently onto the chicken to make sure they stick and form a nice, even layer.

#### **Step 4: Fry the Chicken**

Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small pinch of breadcrumbs into the oil – if they sizzle immediately, it’s time to start frying.

Carefully place the breaded chicken strips into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the strips for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken, which should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked through.

#### **Step 5: Drain and Serve**

Once the chicken strips are golden and crispy, use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, and enjoy!
