Ingredients

  • 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of boneless and skinless chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • Vegetable Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Cut chicken into strips and set aside.
  • In a bowl add the flour. In another bowl beat the egg with the water. Set up a work station for the flour, then egg, and then the bread crumb mixture.
  • Combine all of the seasonings in a bowl large enough that you can roll your chicken strips in. After the seasonings are mixed together add the bread crumbs and combine until well mixed.
  • First, roll the chicken strip in the flour, then dip it in the egg mixture, and then into the bread crumbs, coating the strips evenly with the crumbs.
  • Heat enough oil to coat plus a little extra in a skillet.
  • Place the chicken strips in the heated skillet and fry until brown on one side, flip and fry on the other side until brown. It will depend on how large your strips are for cooking time, but cook until meat is no longer pink. Do this in batches

Notes

  1. If you can't find chicken strips buy skinless boneless and cut the chicken breast the long way into about 1/2 thick pieces to make you own chicken strips.
  2. Set up a working station for breading the chicken strips. Have containers that are large enough to dredge the chicken strips.
  3. Use enough vegetable oil to coat the pan well for cooking the chicken. Add more oil as needed.
  4. When frying the chicken strips work in batches making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
