These Crispy Chicken Strips are the perfect summer meal! They’re crispy, they’re crunchy, easy to make a perfect crowd pleaser. I love using hemp seeds because they have so many nutritional benefits!
Hemp Seeds are high fiber, protein and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids! They are actually one of the few plant-based sources of all essential fatty acids. I really like cooking with them and NO… eating hemp won’t get you high, and you won’t test positive for THC on a drug test. Hemp hearts do not contain THC and it’s not the same thing as marijuana.
That being said, these crispy hemp seed chicken strips are a great fried chicken option. Nut and dairy free and beautifully golden, this recipe kid approved!

These are out of this world!! I tend to overcook chicken because I’m afraid of under-cooking and getting sick, so needless to say chicken breast is never on my menu! But WOW– this was delicious and the recipe was so easy to follow that even I could make it! The flavor and texture combos were so tasty, never have I ever cooked chicken breast that was so flavorful, moist and cooked to perfection!
Dana says
Are these meant to be cut into strips before or after coating and frying them? I can’t wait to try making them!
Cristina says
Yes, the chicken is meant to be chicken breast strips. You can often find them already cut at the grocery store.
