Ingredients

1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
11/2 teaspoons dried thyme
11/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch ground red pepper
8 boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch strips

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a pie plate or platter, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, thyme, basil, oregano, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper. Dip the chicken strips in the melted butter, then dredge them in the bread crumb mixture. Place the chicken strips in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve the chicken sticks hot with marinara sauce, or serve hot or cold with honey mustard.

Quick and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were great. I ran out of breadcrumbs and substituted panko in the breading and it worked out fantastic. These will be... a new addition to the regular rotation. Thanks Paula for a great, quick recipe.Read more

Surprised (pleasantly)!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was good! My 6 year old raved about it! My 1 year old loved it too! My husband liked it but said he would have liked... it more minus the parm. cheese (he only eats cheese on pizza). I only made this because I was sure he wouldn't be able to pick out the taste, but he came home while I was preparing it, still don't think he could taste it...anyway, it was good. Leftovers not so good, the crust is mushy and it just didn't taste the same day 2. I will be making this again!Read more

AMAZING
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've been attempting to make homemade chicken fingers for awhile now. I will no longer be looking for any other recipes. I... followed the recipe except I added 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs to the mix. Thanks Paula for another winner!Read more
