Oven-baked crispy chicken was created as a recipe after I discovered I was diabetic. With a diet to follow, I try to make my dishes as appetizing as possible, and if you like, I will share various recipes with you (in addition to classic recipes). The quantities in the recipe are not my single portion because everyone must follow their own dietary plan, but I’ve provided an amount suitable for 23 people. I hope in this way to give you tasty and useful ideas if you need to follow a specific dietary regime or if you want to eat light but delicious!

- 1/4 tsp sweet paprika (powder)
- 5 leaves basil (fresh)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Preparation of Paprika Crispy Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into strips (or use pre-sliced strips), and place them in a bowl.
Add the breadcrumbs, paprika, salt, and broken basil leaves to the bowl, and mix well using two spoons to coat all the chicken thoroughly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; place the chicken strips on top, spreading them out well, and pour over the oil provided in the recipe.
Preheat the oven to 482°F, and when it’s at temperature, bake for 2025 minutes (the chicken should be golden brown at the end of cooking), turning the strips halfway through. Once cooked, remove the crispy chicken from the oven, sprinkle with grated lemon zest, and serve. You’ll taste the goodness!
