Instructions
Creating these Easy Oven Baked Chicken Bites is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to prepare a delightful dish:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Spray with Olive Oil: Lightly spray the chicken bites with olive oil cooking spray. This helps achieve a golden crust.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
8. Check for Doneness: To ensure they are fully cooked, cut one of the larger chicken pieces in half; there should be no pinkness inside.
9. Let Rest: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the chicken bites rest for a few minutes before serving.
