Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

12 pieces boneless, skinless chicken strips
2 pkg ranch dressing mix (dry pkgs)
1 3/4 c panko bread crumbs (japanese bread crumbs)
1 c parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp white pepper
1/2 c butter, melted (1 stick)
non stick butter flavored cooking spray

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a gallon size zip lock bag, add panko bread crumbs, dry ranch dressing mix, parmesan cheese and all of the spices, then shake to mix completely. Set aside till needed. Spray a large jelly roll size pan with non stick cooking spray and set aside till needed.
2. In a separate small dish large enough to accomodate chicken strips, melt the butter in microwave and set aside. Wash chicken strips as desired and drain. Then in another plate or platter add some of the bread crumb mixture.
3. Now you are ready to begin. Add the chicken strips one at a time into the melted butter, then remove and drain excess butter, then add chicken strip to plate of bread crumbs, and coat on all sides pressing firmly into the crumbs. Then place on the prepared baking pan.
4. Repeat until all the pieces have been coated, adding more bread crumbs as needed. If you have some of the crumbs left over, you can store them into the freezer to use at a later time, because you did not contaminate them with the raw chicken.
5. Now spray each piece of chicken lightly with the non stick cooking spray. Then place in center of preheated 350 degree F. Oven & bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until juices run clear. Remove from oven and serve with your favorite sides.
6. NOTE: As A TIME SAVER, I KEEP EXTRA BAGS OF THIS Seasoning MIXTURE IN THE FREEZER in a zip lock bag, and then I can use it on Chicken, Fish or Pork Chops when ever needed. It saves a few minutes of getting dinner on the table in a hurry. This recipe is similiar to a recipe in my cookbook, but with slight variations & extra added seasoning. It taste really great.

Tips:

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to the proper internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will help to prevent the chicken from becoming dry or overcooked.
To make sure the breading sticks to the chicken, first dredge the chicken in flour, then in egg, and then in breadcrumbs. This will create a crispy, golden-brown coating.
For extra crispy chicken strips, double-coat the chicken in the breading. This will create a thicker, more flavorful coating.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before using.
To make the chicken strips ahead of time, bread them and then freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. When you're ready to cook them, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Serve the chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
