Ingredients (raw weights)

• 700 g chicken breast, boneless skinless, raw
• 6 g salt, dry
• 2.3 g paprika, dry
• 3.1 g garlic powder, dry
• 80 g all-purpose flour, dry

• 237 g diet soda (0 kcal), as sold
• 40 g butter, light, as sold
• 16 g garlic, raw
• 10 g lemon juice, as sold

Steps

1. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
2. Season the chicken with salt, smoked paprika, and onion & garlic powder and mix well, then set aside.
3. Combine plain all‑purpose flour with potato starch and add the same seasonings, mixing thoroughly.
4. In a separate bowl, mix a portion of the flour mixture with sparkling water to create a wet batter, then add a few tablespoons of this batter back into the flour mixture and stir until crumbly.
5. Dip each chicken strip first into the seasoned flour mixture, then into the wet batter, and press it back into the flour mixture to coat.
6. Spray the coated chicken generously with light cooking oil spray.
7. Air‑fry or oven‑bake the chicken using the recommended settings until golden brown and crunchy.
8. While the chicken cooks, melt light butter in a pan over low heat, add minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice, cooking for about 2 minutes.
9. When the chicken is done, brush each tender with the garlic‑butter mixture.
10. Evenly sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken tenders.
11. Serve immediately and enjoy.
