Chicken Fingers

I grew up with homemade chicken fingers. My Nonna regularly makes them for us and they are a staple dish for large family gatherings or picnics. These are always a family favorite; juicy, flavorful and crunchy. These treats are tasty right out of the pan or eaten cold the next day.
 

YIELD: 4 – 6 PEOPLE                                                                                 PREP TIME: 15 MIN
COOK TIME: 30 MINUTES
 
Ingredients:
1/3 Cup Flour
2 Eggs Beaten
1 ¼ Cups Bread Crumbs
2/3 Cup Grated Parmigiano Cheese
¼ tsp Garlic Powder
1.5 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Dried Thyme
4 (6 – 8 ounces) Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
½ Cup Chicken Stock
Salt and Pepper
½ Cup Olive Oil
 
Directions:
  1. Place the chicken in between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound lightly with a meat mallet until approximately ½ inch thick. Cut chicken into strips.
  2. Marinate the chicken in the salted chicken stock for at least 2 hours or overnight.   
  3. Using 3 wide shallow bowls, add flour to one, beaten eggs in the second and in the third mix the breadcrumbs, parmigiano and seasonings (garlic powder, basil, oregano and thyme).
  4. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  5. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour to coat lightly, then dip in the beaten eggs and allow all excess egg to drip off. Coat the chicken thoroughly in the breadcrumbs and pat so that it adheres.
  6. Heat the oil in a large skillet pan over medium heat.
  7. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  8. Remove chicken and pat any excess oil on a paper towel.
 
Buon Appetito!

Children just love chicken fingers. This maybe my only problem for the longest time every time I hold children's parties because ever since the whole family switched to a vegan diet, we can no longer serve the best chicken dishes that we used to make. Thank God there are now plenty of alternatives in the market. Bacon can easily be replaced by tofu skin which taste more like beef strips. Children no longer notice there is no meat in their spaghetti when I used it to replace ground pork. I can also buy fake chicken fingers made from plant based sources.
