Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• If not already melted, melt the 1/4 cup butter and pour it into a shallow bowl; stir in the 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
• In a separate shallow bowl, combine the 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon parsley.
• Working with one strip at a time, dip each of the 8 chicken strips (from the 2 large breasts) into the melted butter mixture, turning to coat and allowing excess butter to drip back into the bowl.
• Press each butter-coated strip into the breadcrumb-cheese mixture, coating all sides and gently pressing the mixture onto the chicken so it adheres.
• Arrange the coated strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
• Remove from oven and let the chicken rest 2–3 minutes before serving.
