Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s ready for baking perfection.
-
Prepare chicken: Begin by thoroughly washing the chicken breasts under warm water. Ensure they’re clean, then pat them dry with paper towels, laying them out on several layers to absorb excess moisture.
-
Safety first: After handling raw chicken, remember to wash your hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water to prevent any cross-contamination.
-
Cut chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a clean plastic cutting board and slice them into 1-inch squares. You should end up with approximately 32 pieces in total.
-
Prepare egg white: In a mixing bowl, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy texture.
-
Combine ingredients: Gently fold in the paprika, black pepper, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and onion powder into the whipped egg white mixture, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Prepare baking sheet: Grab a heavy-duty cooking sheet, preferably a Silver Stone-type for optimal results, and line it with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
-
Coat chicken: Using your fingers, dip or roll each chicken piece into the prepared mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place them directly onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each piece to allow for even cooking.
-
Bake to perfection: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the chicken pieces are crispy and golden brown, exuding irresistible aromas that fill your kitchen with warmth and anticipation.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the chicken littles from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These delectable treats are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, served alongside your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a wholesome meal.
