These delightful bites combine the savory goodness of chicken with the irresistible crunch of Parmesan, creating a dish that is not only satisfying but utterly addictive.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup almond flour (for gluten-free option)
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine diced chicken, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. This will help the cheese adhere better to the chicken.
Dip each piece of chicken first in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in grated Parmesan cheese mixed with almond flour for that perfect crunch.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave space between each piece for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. Flip them halfway through for even crispness.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
