Ingredients

For the chicken strips:

For the dipping sauce:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Cut the chicken in thin strips. This is finger food so keep that in mind when cutting pieces. You want people to be able to pick them up easily and dunk them.
  • Scoop ¾ cup of greek yogurt into a shallow dish so you can dredge the chicken in it easily.
  • Place your almonds in a food processor and pulse until they resemble fine crumbs. If you don't have a food processor you can use a rolling pin and ziploc bag.
  • Pour the crushed almonds in a large shallow bowl. Add the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and dried parsley, then mix well.
  • Now dredge each chicken strip in the yogurt, be sure to coat all sides well. Then dunk each chicken strip into the crumb mixture. Shake excess off lightly and place each piece on the cookie sheet. Repeat until all pieces are coated and on the cookie sheet.
  • Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. You want the breading to be golden brown and crisp. I like mine well done but if you like yours lighter in colour just adjust the time down a minute or two.
  • While the chicken cooks you can whip up the easy dipping sauce.
  • Combine 1 cup greek yogurt, almond extract, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Pour into a nice serving bowl and chill until needed. We like ours cold, not room temperature.
  • Remove the chicken strips from the oven and place on a platter. Place the dipping sauce on the same platter.
  • Serve with a big old chicken strip loving smile!
