5. Place each coated chicken piece on the wire rack.
6. Spray them lightly with the cooking spray
7. Bake until cooked all the way through, about 20 minutes.
8. For a darker, toasted crust, place the chicken under the broiler for an additional 3-5 minutes watching very closely so they don’t brown too much.

Tips:

• For parmesan chicken add ¼ cup of parmesan cheese to the breading mix.
• To freeze, cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and transfer to the freezer overnight. Then place the chicken strips in a zip-top plastic bag or freezer container. Store for up to 1 month. To reheat, bake for 25 minutes at 350°
