Ingredients 3-4 chicken breasts about 1lb, cut in strips (I get about 3 out of one breast) 4-5 tbsp melted butter 3/4 cup flour 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs 1/2 tsp salt 1 tbsp seasoning salt I use Lawry's 1/2 tsp pepper 2 tsp paprika Instructions Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place a large piece of parchment paper on the rimmed baking sheet (10x15x1") and brush butter over top (there will be a little extra butter, but you need it to crisp up the coating!) *NOTE: If you're working with fresh chicken breasts, you will want to soak them for 15-30 minutes in milk or buttermilk before coating.
