Number Of Ingredients 9

8 oz. linguine
3 garlic herb chicken breasts, cut into strips or chicken breasts seasoned with italian herbs
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 c. frozen corn, thawed
1 (3 1/2 oz.) jar prepared pesto
1/4 c. seasoned bread crumbs

1/4 t. pepper
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Cook linguine according to package directions, drain. Add chicken, cheese, corn, pesto, bread crumbs, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper. Toss to coat. *When I made this dish, it was VERY dry once all the ingredients were added. Possibly because I used less than the 3.5 oz. pesto? If you find this to be the case with yours, add a bit of chicken broth to moisten. You could also keep some of the water the pasta is boiled in and use that.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pkg (15 oz) dry bread crumbs
1 pkg (8 oz) grated parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp italian seasoning
2 tsp garlic salt, divided
6 eggs
1/4 c water
2 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch strips
vegetable oil for deep frying

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken strips their flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful one. The recipe in the article uses a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary, but you can use any marinade you like. If you want to add a bit of a kick, you can also add some red pepper flakes or chili powder.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken strips are best when they are cooked through but still juicy. Overcooking them will make them dry and tough. The best way to check if the chicken strips are done is to use a meat thermometer. The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Chicken strips are typically served with a dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include ranch dressing, honey mustard, and barbecue sauce. You can also use any other dipping sauce you like.

Conclusion:

Italian chicken strips are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and they are packed with flavor. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
