Easy Oven Baked Chicken Bites: An Incredible Recipe You’ll Love

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (seasoned or plain)
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 large eggs, beaten
– Cooking spray or olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

Creating easy oven baked chicken bites is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, making sure they’re uniform for even cooking.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Prepare the Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
5. Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken first into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Then, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they’re not touching.
7. Bake: Lightly spray the bites with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil for added crispiness. Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
8. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
9. Remove and Cool: Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken bites cool for a few minutes before serving.
