Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup honey or your favorite dipping sauce
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking.
  2. In one bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful coating.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
  4. Dip each piece of chicken first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's well-coated, and then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
  5. Place the coated chicken bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway for even cooking.
  2. Serve your delicious Chicken Bites with honey or your favorite dipping sauce for an irresistible treat.

Notes

Consider adding cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the breadcrumb mixture for a kick. You can also incorporate dried herbs like oregano, thyme, or basil into the breadcrumbs for added flavor. For a healthier alternative, try cooking in an air fryer at the same temperature for 8-12 minutes.
