Cut chicken breasts into even strips
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika
Set up three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs or panko
Dredge each strip in flour
Dip each strip in beaten eggs
Coat each strip in breadcrumbs or panko
Press the coating onto the chicken to help it stick
Let the coated strips rest for 10 to 15 minutes
Heat oil in a skillet or preheat the oven to 425°F
Fry the strips until golden brown and cooked through, or bake on a greased rack until crispy
Flip halfway through cooking if baking
Drain fried strips on a wire rack or paper towels
Serve hot
