- In a shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

For a spicy kick, add cayenne pepper or swap the ranch seasoning for a buffalo seasoning mix. Make sure to coat each chicken strip well with butter for better breadcrumb adhesion.
