Oven Baked Orange Chicken Strips

This is a new recipe for me. The orange flavor wasn't strong, but these strips might be good in a stir fry, tortilla wrap, or with french fries for a quick kid-friendly dinner.

Oven Baked Orange Chicken Strips
Adapted from Diane S.

5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1” strips
1 ½ c. fine dry bread crumbs
1 c. flour
½ tsp. thyme
2 tsp. paprika
6 oz orange juice concentrate, undiluted, at room temperature
¼ c. honey

Place sheets of waxed paper on two cookie sheets. In a shallow dish combine the dry ingredients. In another shallow dish combine the orange juice and honey.
Dip each chicken strip into the orange-honey mix before dredging in the crumb coating. Place the strips on the cookie sheets without touching each other. Place the chicken in the freezer until frozen solid.
Remove the chicken strips to a labeled gallon ziptop bag. On cooking day, place the desired number of chicken strips on a cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until the juices run clear.
