For the Chicken Strips
  • 2 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts The main protein source; ensures easy prep and tenderness.
  • 1 tsp Salt Enhances flavor, adjust to your taste.
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper Provides a mild heat; freshly ground adds the best flavor.
  • 1 tsp Paprika Offers color and a mild pepper essence; smoked paprika gives a deeper note.

For the Coating
