Rainbow Chicken Strips

I love chicken strips. They're so versatile, you can eat them with anything from fries to salad. But sometimes, I get tired of the same old boring chicken strips. That's why I decided to make rainbow chicken strips!

These chicken strips are made with different colored breading, so they look just as fun as they taste. They're also baked, not fried, so they're a healthier option.

To make these rainbow chicken strips, you'll need:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup cornstarch

• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs

• 1/4 cup milk

• 1 egg, beaten

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• Food coloring (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, and breadcrumbs.

3. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together milk, egg, salt, and pepper.

4. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to the milk mixture.

5. Dip the chicken strips in the milk mixture, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.

6. Place the chicken strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

7. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.

8. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Here are a few tips for making the best rainbow chicken strips:

• Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. This will make the chicken strips more tender and easier to cook.

• Cut the chicken breasts into strips that are about 1/2 inch thick. This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.

• Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If you put too many chicken strips on the baking sheet, they won't cook evenly.

• Baste the chicken strips with the olive oil halfway through cooking. This will help them to brown and crisp.

• Serve the chicken strips immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

I hope you enjoy these rainbow chicken strips! They're a fun and healthy way to enjoy a classic favorite.

Here's a story about how I came up with this recipe:

I was at the grocery store the other day, and I saw all of these different colored bread crumbs. I thought it would be fun to make chicken strips with them, so I bought a few different colors.

When I got home, I started experimenting with different recipes. I tried dipping the chicken strips in different mixtures, and I tried baking them at different temperatures.

After a few tries, I finally came up with a recipe that I was happy with. The chicken strips were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. And the different colors made them look really fun!

I served the rainbow chicken strips to my family, and they loved them! They were a big hit, and I'm sure they'll be a hit with your family too.

Here are a few tips and tricks for making rainbow chicken strips:

• If you don't have different colored bread crumbs, you can use regular bread crumbs and food coloring. Just add a few drops of food coloring to the breadcrumb mixture until you get the desired color.

• You can also use different types of bread crumbs, such as panko or Italian bread crumbs. This will give the chicken strips a different texture.

• If you want to make the chicken strips even healthier, you can bake them instead of frying them. Just preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and bake the chicken strips for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.

• Serve the rainbow chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or ketchup.

I hope you enjoy these rainbow chicken strips! They're a fun and healthy way to enjoy a classic favorite.
