Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken strips

Breading

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the coating: In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and taco seasoning thoroughly to ensure the chicken will be evenly flavored.
  2. Coat the chicken strips: Dip each chicken strip into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating evenly on all sides.
  3. Bake the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the coated chicken strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased rack for even cooking. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crunchy.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, spray the coated chicken strips lightly with cooking oil before baking.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce such as salsa, ranch, or guacamole.
  • Use gluten-free breadcrumbs if you require a gluten-free option.
  • Ensure chicken strips are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
