Step 1
Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into 1-inch wide strips. Season with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Set up a dredging station: place 0.5 cup flour in one bowl, beat 2 eggs in a second, and mix 1.5 cups breadcrumbs with 1 tsp garlic powder in a third.
Step 3
Dredge each chicken strip in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Press gently so the coating sticks.
Step 4
Heat 1 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Test with a breadcrumb—it should sizzle.
Step 5
Fry the strips in batches without crowding, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
Step 6
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
