04 - Dredge each chicken strip in flour while shaking off excess, dip into egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with panko-Parmesan mixture.
05 - Place breaded strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil for enhanced crispiness.
06 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through with internal temperature reaching 165°F.
07 - Serve hot, fry-style, with warm marinara and ranch dips on the side.
