Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons salted butter -melted (¼ cup / ½ stick)
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 (5 to 6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast -cut into ½ inch pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In one bowl, mix the flour, paprika, salt, and garlic powder. Add melted butter to a second bowl and breadcrumbs to a third.
- Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, dip in butter (letting the excess drip off), then coat with breadcrumbs. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through after 5 minutes, until fully cooked.
Notes
- Cut Evenly: Slice chicken into uniform pieces so they cook evenly.
- Pat Dry: Dry the chicken with paper towels before coating to help the flour and spices stick.
- Preheat Oven: Make sure the oven is fully preheated for the best crispy texture.
- Storing Leftovers: Keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Reheat in the oven to keep them crispy.
