Cut the chicken lengthwise into 4 inches-long and about an inch-wide strips. Set aside.

Put the flour in a shallow dish, and also put the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.

Get the chicken strips and dredge them one by one in the flour. Shake off the excess flour.

Dip it into the egg mixture, and lastly, dredge it in the breadcrumbs (panko).
