Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb Boneless skinless chicken breasts Cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 large Eggs Beaten
  • 1 cup Grated parmesan cheese Divided into two 1/2 cup portions
  • 1/4 cup Butter Melted
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 2 tbsp Fresh green parsley Finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder

Equipment

  • 1 Large Baking Sheet Aluminum preferred for even cooking.
  • 3 Shallow Bowls For the breading station.

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first bowl. Whisk the eggs in the second. Combine the Panko breadcrumbs with 1/2 cup of the grated parmesan cheese in the third.
  3. Toss the bite-sized chicken breast pieces in the flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and press firmly into the Panko mixture until fully coated. Place on the baking sheet and spray tops with cooking oil.
  4. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip the pieces, and top with a heavy coating of the remaining 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and toasted.
  5. Whisk melted butter and minced garlic together. Brush the warm garlic butter glaze over the hot chicken bites. Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh green parsley flakes.
  6. In a small ramekin, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and garlic powder until smooth. Serve the creamy white dipping sauce alongside the chicken bites.

Notes

Always use fresh grated parmesan cheese for the best melting texture.
Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to maintain the golden brown crunchy breaded exterior.
