- 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

- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, paprika, salt, and garlic powder. In a second bowl, pour the melted butter, and in a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
- Coat each piece of chicken by first dredging it in the flour mixture, then dipping it in the melted butter, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, roll the chicken in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the chicken in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes of baking, flip the chicken, then continue baking for another 5 minutes until fully cooked.Total bake time should be around 10 minutes.
Notes
- Cut the chicken into evenly sized pieces to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- Pat the chicken dry before coating it in flour to help the flour and spices stick better.
- Preheat your oven fully before placing the chicken inside for the best crispy results.
- Leftovers? Store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week and reheat in the oven to retain the crispiness.
