Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb. chicken breasts ((about 2 large breasts))
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs ((preferably whole wheat, unseasoned, see notes))
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • spices such as Italian seasoning, dried oregano or thyme, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, etc. (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut the chicken into 1- 1.5 inch bite-sized pieces. Place in a bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and coat evenly using a spoon.
  • Mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, breadcrumbs (1/3 cup), grated parmesan (2 tablespoons), kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), black pepper (1/4 teaspoon), and any other seasonings you are using in a bowl until everything is well-coated in the oil.
  • Coat each piece of chicken evenly in the breadcrumb mixture, getting it as thick as possible and pressing it into the chicken so it sticks. Place on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes at 425 degrees F. Flip and bake for another 4-5 minutes, or until completely cooked through to 165 degrees F.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or marinara sauce.
