Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup Bread crumbs; seasoned dried
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano leaves
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. 2
    In a small bowl, combine the seasoned dried bread crumbs and oregano leaves, mixing well to distribute the herbs evenly.
  3. 3
    Pat the chicken breast strips dry with paper towels, then season them lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. 4
    Dip each chicken strip briefly into water to moisten the surface, ensuring they are wet but not dripping.
  5. 5
    Transfer the wet chicken strips to the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat all sides thoroughly and pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
  6. 6
    Arrange the coated chicken strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
  7. 7
    Sprinkle any remaining breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the chicken strips for extra crunch.

    Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow juices to settle.
