Slice the chicken breast into strips approximately 1cm thick and place them in a bowl.
Pour the buttermilk over the chicken strips, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours to tenderize the chicken.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs thoroughly.
In a third dish, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge each strip in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Dip the floured chicken pieces into the beaten eggs, then coat them with the breadcrumb and cheese mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken goujons in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked goujons to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
