Baked Chicken Sticks

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs 
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
• 3 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Red pepper to taste
• 4 boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch strips
• 1/2 stick melted butter
• Marinara sauce or ranch, for dipping

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a pie plate or platter, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, 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 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve the chicken sticks hot with marinara sauce, or with ranch.

Alternate way to make more crispy cook chicken strips at  425 degrees F  on a large cookie sheet, allowing heat to circulate all around & underneath, flip them after 15 minutes, and then cooked an additional 10, then under the broiler for 2-3 minutes.
