Southern Style Fried Chicken Strips

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 30 saltine crackers
• 2 tablespoons dry potato flakes
• 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch strips
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil, or as needed

Directions:

Place crackers in a resealable bag; crush into coarse crumbs. Mix cracker crumbs, potato flakes, seasoned salt, and black pepper together in a shallow bowl. Beat egg in a separate small bowl. Place flour in a third shallow bowl.

Coat chicken pieces in flour, beaten egg, and cracker mixture, respectively.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry chicken strips until no longer pink in the center and coating is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
