• Bread strips: Lightly coat strips in flour, followed by a dip in milk, and then place into the panko mixture, making sure to coat strips on all sides.
• Heat a large, ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, swirl to coat, and add chicken strips, in 2 batches if necessary so as not to overcrowd. Crisp, turning once, until outside is crisp and golden, about 1 minute per side, transferring to a plate as they finish and replenishing oil if skillet is dry. Return all strips to skillet and transfer to oven to finish cooking through, about 6 minutes.
