Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized strips.
  • Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk together with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • First cover the chicken in flour, then place in the egg and spice mixture. Finally, coat in breadcrumbs.
  • Place the chicken onto the baking sheet and drizzle over the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 7 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and flip the chicken pieces over. Bake for a further 10 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, place the chives, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and ½ of the lemon zest into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with the lemon-chive dipping sauce.
