How to make Parmesan Chicken Bites
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C) and line 1 or 2 baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients, and then set the breadcrumb mixture aside until ready to use.
Next, cut the chicken breast into bite-size pieces, approximately 1 ½ inches (4cm) in size. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste.
In another large bowl, add the flour and the seasoned chicken pieces. Use a spoon to toss the chicken in the flour until all pieces are evenly coated. Transfer the coated chicken to a clean bowl, discarding any excess flour.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with oil until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the chicken pieces and toss them to coat thoroughly.
Now, roll each piece of chicken in the panko Parmesan mixture, ensuring that each piece is evenly coated with the breadcrumb mixture. Transfer the coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the pieces are golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165F (75C).
Once baked to perfection, serve the crispy chicken bites with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
