Equipment
- 1 bowls
- 1 large pan
Instructions
- Lay out three bowls on the bench in front of you. In the first bowl put the flour, salt and paprika; mix gently. In the second bowl beat the two eggs with a little milk to make a crumb wash. In the third bowl add a good quantity of panko crumbs and stir through the parmesan cheese.
- Moving from one bowl to the other, dip your chicken fingers in the flour first, then the egg wash and finally the crumbs.
- Shallow fry each coated chicken stick in a large pan for approx 2 mins each side, or until golden brown, crunchy and cooked on the inside. Serve with a helping of your kids' favourite veggies or some boiled pasta shapes.
Notes
Tip
Don't overcook the chicken or it will be too chewy for toddlers.
Variation
If you're in a rush, you can buy pre-cut chicken tenderloins instead of chopping up a chicken breast.
Variation
If you prefer, you can bake these chicken sticks in a moderate oven for 15-20 minutes.
