   • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Remove from heat and transfer the garlic butter mixture to a low, flat dish like a soup plate or pie pan.

2. Prepare Panko Coating:

   • In another low, flat dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley (if using). Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.

3. Preheat and Prep Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, ensuring it’s ready for the chicken.

4. Prepare Chicken Strips:

   • Separate the chicken tenderloins from the breasts and leave them whole. Cut the chicken breasts crosswise into strips.

5. Coat Chicken Strips:

   • Roll each piece of chicken in the garlic butter mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Then, dredge the chicken in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs. Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking pan.

6. Bake:

   • If there’s any remaining panko mixture, sprinkle it over the chicken strips. Likewise, if there’s leftover melted garlic butter, drizzle it over the chicken.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.

7. Serve:

   • Once baked, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, perhaps with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.

Tips:

• Ensure the chicken strips are evenly coated with the garlic butter and panko mixture for optimal crispiness.
• Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can add additional herbs or spices to the panko mixture for extra flavor.
• Serve these chicken strips as a main dish for lunch or dinner, or cut them into smaller pieces for a delightful snack or appetizer.
