Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 as needed Cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, rolled oats, ground flaxseed, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until uniform.

Step 5

Set up a breading station: one bowl with the wet mixture (eggs and milk) and another with the dry mixture (breadcrumb blend).

Step 6

Dip each chicken strip into the wet mixture, letting excess drip off, then coat in the dry mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.

Step 7

Place the breaded chicken strips onto the prepared baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray.

Step 8

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the strips to enhance crispiness.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken turns golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is!
