Instructions
Air Fried Chicken Strips:
- Preheat air fryer to 400°.
- To a shallow bowl, or pie pan, crack and whisk the eggs.
- In a separate shallow bowl or pie pan, combine the breadcrumbs, cheese, and garlic salt. Mix well.
- Cut the chicken breasts into thin filets, then cut each filet into 6 chicken strips.
- Dunk the chicken strips in the eggs, then move over to dredge in the breadcrumbs.
- Let any extra breadcrumbs fall off as you move the chicken strips from the breadcrumbs to a plate until you have enough for one run in the air fryer. (You can continue dunking and dredging while the first batch air frys.)
- In batches, add the chicken strips to the air fryer. Spray with olive oil and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side.
- When the chicken is cooked through and crispy on the outside and golden brown, they’re done. Move to a clean plate and continue air frying the chicken fingers.
Oven Baked Chicken Strips:
- Preheat the oven to 400° and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- To a shallow bowl, or pie pan, crack and whisk the eggs.
- In a separate shallow bowl or pie pan, combine the breadcrumbs, cheese, and garlic salt. Mix well.
- Cut the chicken breasts into thin filets, then cut each filet into 6 chicken strips.
- Dunk the chicken strips in the eggs, then move over to dredge in the breadcrumbs.
- Let any extra breadcrumbs fall off as you move the chicken strips from the breadcrumbs to the parchment paper lined baking sheets.
- Lightly spray the tops with olive oil, and bake for 8 minutes.
- Flip, lightly spray the tops with olive oil, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until cooked through and golden brown.

This recipe is great for all ages and very easy to change up. I made mine in the oven, used finely shredded cheddar cheese instead of Parmesan cheese, used 1/2 tsp garlic salt and 1/2 tsp chili lime seasoning. These freeze well too. I will definitely make them again.
