Ingredients:
For the Chicken Bites:
- 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup (100g) grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup (60g) breadcrumbs (panko works best for extra crispiness)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
For the Garlic Aioli:
- ½ cup (120g) mayonnaise
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Recipe:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a shallow dish, combine parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Coat the Chicken:
- Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, then coat it evenly in the parmesan-breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake:
- Bake the chicken bites in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
4. Make the Garlic Aioli:
- While the chicken is baking, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.
5. Serve:
- Serve the baked parmesan chicken bites hot with the garlic aioli on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of colour if desired.
