Prepare the Crispy Chicken
- 1
Cut the chicken breast fillets into even strips, about 1-2 cm wide.
- 2
Season the chicken strips generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- 3
Prepare three separate shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- 4
Take each chicken strip and coat it first in flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally, coat it thoroughly in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- 5
Arrange the coated chicken strips in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray the chicken with oil spray for extra crispiness.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) using top and bottom heat with a fan, for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
30 min - 7
Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest on the tray for a few minutes. This helps the panko stay crisp and firm up.

Once slightly cooled, cut the crispy chicken into bite-sized pieces, suitable for your salad.
