Prepare irresistibly crispy chicken bites at home, golden brown and crunchy on the outside, and wonderfully juicy on the inside! This recipe is a perfect choice for a quick dinner, entertaining guests, or even a relaxed movie night. The tortilla chip coating provides a unique texture and flavor that will surely have everyone asking for more. Try them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard!

Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Cut the chicken breast into approximately 2-3 cm (1 inch) pieces. In a shallow dish, mix the flour with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs. In a third dish, crush the tortilla chips into fine crumbs (you can use a rolling pin or a food processor).

Breading

Dredge each chicken piece first in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the whisked eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly in the crushed tortilla chips, ensuring it's fully covered. Place the breaded bites on the prepared baking tray, making sure they don't touch each other.

Baking

Spray the chicken bites with olive oil spray or brush them lightly with oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Flip them halfway through baking to ensure both sides are crispy.

Dipping Sauce

While the chicken bakes, prepare the honey mustard dipping sauce: combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Serve the hot, crispy chicken bites with the dipping sauce.
