1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips

In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees F.

In a shallow bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In another shallow bowl, beat egg and milk. Dip chicken into egg mixture, then into cracker mixture.
