Cooking Steps
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Cut chicken lengthwise into 1-inch-thick strips. Season all over with salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, toss chicken with sour cream until evenly coated. Place panko on a plate. Working one strip at a time, press chicken into panko until evenly coated.
Heat a ⅓-inch layer of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot enough that a pinch of panko sizzles when added to the pan, add coated chicken. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. (Lower heat if crust begins to brown too quickly.) Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with salt.
Serve with BBQ sauce and ranch on the side for dipping.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
RECIPE SUGGESTION Want a little more flavor? Season the sour cream with taco seasoning, BBQ seasoning, or Italian seasoning!

Reviews from our home cooks
I was a little confused because I thought it was pre made. It was not and I had to cook it myself. I was used to getting the cards when I had to cook and a card was not received. In the end I figured out how to cook the strips and they were really really good with the bbq and ranch dips!!! I would order them again now that I know what to do!!!
The chicken strip turned out very flavorful. I liked the BBQ sauce that came with it, but the ranch dressing was way too salty for me.
Crowd pleaser. Enjoyed the two sauces that came with this. Easy to make.
Easy snack or lunch idea, pretty simple to make but I would want to play around with the seasonings more for a little more flavor
Delicious but the amount of chicken was just enough for one person.
I know there was a suggestion to add spices but it's absolutely needed. You should also give the option of air frying as these turned out really well, there just needed the spice for a little better taste
These were so good. Whole family loved and wanted more. Paired with Mac n cheese. Check the box, cause mine wasn't in a bag. All ingredients r just tossed in. I accidentally through away the sour cream. Thank god I had I some at home.
Tried them a second time, added some seasonings, much better!
Good but the panko needs something for flavor, I.e., Italian seasoning or garlic powder. Will add something next time I make them. Also I think they would be good baked instead of fried.
My grandsons said these were the best chicken strips they had ever had! Thank you!
