Ingredients
- 14 oz chicken breast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- as needed flour
- 1 egg
- double the flour panko breadcrumbs

- 1 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Valentina sauce
- 1 lime
Sweet Chili Glaze
- 4 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce

Instructions
- 1Cut the chicken breast into strips and toss with salt, smoked paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder.
