Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. In a shallow bowl mix the first six ingredients. Place butter in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken in butter, then roll in crumb mixture to coat; press to adhere. Place chicken on a foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165°, about 15 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time

This chicken would taste great chopped and served over taco salad.
If you like dipping chicken strips, try these with salsa, guacamole, sour cream or ranch dressing.
