Oven Baked Chicken Strips {Freezer Friendly Meal}
From: Kerrie @ happymoneysaver.com/
Homemade, real food, kid friendly, healthy…. have I got your attention yet? Today we are talking freezer meal Oven Baked Chicken Strips. These chicken strips are the most requested dinner in my household, not only from my kids but by the old man too. When I first made homemade chicken strips I tried a few different methods. I wanted them to be baked and also crunchy, which I feel can be hard to achieve. I found I had the best results when I used panko bread crumbs. I have used regular panko,whole wheat panko and also Italian style panko bread crumbs. I love them all. My favorite is the Italian style panko bread crumbs because they give the chicken strips the most flavor.
