🧂 Ingredients
For the Chicken Bites:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), cut into bite-sized chunks
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs or panko
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil (for tossing)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
For the Zesty Garlic Dipping Sauce:
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional for a tangy kick)
Salt and black pepper to taste
🔪 Instructions
1. Prep the Chicken:
In a large bowl, combine the chicken chunks with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until evenly coated.
2. Coat with Crunch:
In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Dredge each chicken piece in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat.
3. Grill to Crispy Perfection:
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill chicken bites for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F / 74°C).
Remove and let rest for 2–3 minutes.
4. Make the Garlic Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt (or mayo), garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
