Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup plain flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbp Italian dried herbs
  • cooking oil spray for coating the chicken pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C (390 Fahrenheit).
  • Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks.
  • In a larger bowl, mix together flour, paprika, parmesan, herbs and garlic granules.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg well.
  • Have a third bowl ready with breadcrumbs.
  • Dip the chicken chunks in flour, then egg and then coat them well in the breadcrumbs mixture.
  • Spray a baking tray lined with non-stick paper, arrange the chicken bites, spray them too, and bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning them once half way through baking to ensure they are nice and crispy on both sides.
  • Serve them with any sauce of your choice, my favourite is still the good old ketchup.
