Spicy little strips

I came across this recipe a few months back on the WC and I finally got around to trying it. My husband and I really enjoyed them. I did substitute panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) for the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs and it made the chicken strips very crispy. Just the way I like them. I also added some lots of garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and a touch of salt and pepper to the breadcrumbs.

I did make some modifications to make this healthier.
*Used whole wheat panko instead of regular bread crumbs
*Used whole wheat flour instead of regular
*Used 1 whole egg and 1 egg white
