Clean Eating Chicken Strips and Kale Chips

This was an easy take on a family favourite. I don't know anyone who doesn't enjoy chicken strips. I actually had an unhealthy love for them for a good few years and that is all I would order when we ate out. Those ones were fried and covered in sauce though, with a side of fries.

Ingredients:
-skinless, boneless chicken breast sliced into 1/2-1 inch strips
-egg white (# of egg whites depends on how much chicken. I used 1 egg white for 2 chicken breasts)
-whole wheat bread crumbs
-1 tbsp Italian seasoning
-1 tbsp fresh grated Parmesan cheese
-1 bunch kale, loosely tear into pieces and remove stems
-1 tbsp e.v.o.o.
-1 tsp sea salt
-juice of 1/4 lemon

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese in a Ziploc freezer bag.
3. Dip chicken strips in egg white, and then toss them in the bread crumb mixture until evenly coated.
4. Place coated strips on a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake for 20-30 minutes turning half way through.
5. In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, lemon juice, and kale together with your hands.
6. Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 15-20 mins or until crispy, turning once.

The strips came out crispy and flavourful, and the kale chips were a great substitute for fries with a little salt and crunch.

I dipped my strips in some raw honey and they were delicious!
