These Parmesan Chicken Bites take chicken nuggets to the next level, with grated Parmesan mixed in to the breading for extra crunch and cheesy flavour.
Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
In a large bowl, combine 100 g Panko breadcrumbs, 60 g Parmesan, 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper and 0.5 teaspoon Garlic granules. Set aside.
Take a piece the 300 g Chicken breast and dip into 1 Egg (whisked), then coat in the in Panko mixture. Put on a baking tray. Repeat with all of the chicken pieces.
Put the breaded chicken on a lightly oiled baking tray into the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes (flipping halfway through) until the breadcrumbs are crisp and the chicken is cooked through.
Notes
Serve with a sprinkling of fresh chopped basil for extra flavour.
These freeze well, so make a double batch and freeze them.
Serve with our homemade ketchup or BBQ sauce.
If you can't find Panko breadcrumbs, you can use any breadcrumbs, but you won't get that same crunch.
