Using your oven to “fry” chicken is a great way to satisfy your deep-friend chicken cravings with a lot less fat and calories. Make your baked chicken more interesting by switching up the breading: Try crushed cornflakes, bran flakes or panko breadcrumbs. Chicken strips are boneless, full of lean protein and add a lot of crunch to any meal.

Oven-Fried Chicken Strips

Ingredients

2 pounds (16 ounces) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into pieces
1 cup dried bread crumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup mayonnaise
¼ cup reduced-fat milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a medium bowl or gallon-size resealable plastic bag, mix together the bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, thyme and paprika.

Coat the chicken pieces with mayonnaise. Place chicken pieces in bowl/bag with bread crumb mixture and coat/shake until well coated. Place chicken pieces in a lightly greased 9-inch-by-13-inch baking dish, and bake until opaque, approximately 20-25 minutes depending on thickness of strips.
