Easy to make chicken parmesan bites perfect for a snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. In another shallow dish, place the flour. In a third shallow dish, beat the eggs.
  4. Dredge each chicken piece in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Sear the chicken bites for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Pour marinara sauce over the chicken bites in the skillet.
  8. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Serve immediately with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
  • You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a little heat.
