Enjoy these crispy and flavorful chicken strips paired with a tangy honey mustard dip, perfect for any occasion.
Cut the chicken breasts into strips of even size.
Cutting the chicken into uniform sizes ensures even cooking.
Beat the eggs in a bowl and set aside.
Adding a splash of water to the eggs can make the coating stick better.
Place the flour in a shallow dish.
Season the flour with a pinch of salt for added flavor.
Combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper in another shallow dish.
Mix the breadcrumbs thoroughly with the spices for an even coating.
Coat each chicken strip in the flour, then dip in the egg wash, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick well.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken strips until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the oil temperature.
Mix the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Chill the dip for 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
Serve the chicken strips hot with the honey mustard dip on the side.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
