Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably seasoned)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Olive oil (for frying)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by preparing the chicken breast pieces by trimming any excess fat. Set aside.

    Prepare the Breading Station: Set up three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

      Bread the Chicken: Take each piece of chicken and coat it in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well. Place the breaded chicken bites on a lined baking sheet.

        Fry the Chicken Bites: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken bites in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

          Serve: Arrange the crispy chicken Parmesan bites on a serving platter. Serve them hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with freshly chopped basil for an extra touch of flavor.

            Enjoy: Savor the delightful crunch and cheesy flavor of these bites that are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or party treat!
