Oven Baked Chicken Bites: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 39 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (traditional or panko)
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 large eggs, beaten
– Olive oil spray for cooking


Instructions

Creating Oven Baked Chicken Bites is straightforward. Follow these steps for the best results:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it with olive oil.

2. Prepare Chicken: In a large bowl, cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.

4. Prepare Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, whisk the two large eggs until well blended.

5. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken piece first into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.

6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken bites onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching.

7. Spray with Olive Oil: Lightly spray the tops of the chicken bites with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.

8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. Make sure to flip the bites halfway through for even cooking.

9. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

10. Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
