Here’s an easy recipe for Oven Baked Chicken Bites that you can quickly prepare and enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko works great for extra crispiness)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg (beaten)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the coating: In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat the chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll the chicken piece in the breadcrumb mixture until fully covered.
Arrange on the baking sheet: Place the breaded chicken bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken pieces to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake: Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
Serve: Remove from the oven, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce (like ranch, honey mustard, or BBQ sauce).
Enjoy your crispy and tender oven-baked chicken bites!
