Recipe from Skinnytaste
Ingredients
- 16 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 large breasts)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 6 tablespoons whole-wheat Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs, or gluten-free crumbs
- 2 tablespoons panko, or gluten-free panko
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil spray
Method
- Heat the oven to 425°F and coat a baking sheet with olive oil spray.
- Cut the chicken into evenly sized, bite-size pieces.
- Put the olive oil in one bowl. In another, combine the breadcrumbs, panko, and Parmesan.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then toss it with the olive oil until evenly coated.
- Coat a few chicken pieces at a time in the breadcrumb mixture and arrange them on the prepared pan without crowding.
- Lightly spray the tops with oil. Bake for 8–10 minutes, turn the pieces, and bake another 4–5 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
