Ingredients

  • 3 lbs Chicken Breast
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2-3 Eggs
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tbsp Onion Powder
  • ½ tsp Herbs De Provence or Italian Seasoning
  • 1 ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Pepper
  • ½ tsp Paprika
  • Avocado Oil or Any High Temp Oil

Instructions

  • Cut the breast into 2 inch cubes.
  • In one bowl add flour and all spices, then mix together.
  • In a separate bowl add your eggs and give them a whisk.
  • Add your oil of choice to a frying pan. Only deep enough to cover half the chicken.
  • Heat oil on medium heat, while you coat your first set of chicken bites.
  • Now take your cubed chicken pieces and dip them in the egg, then into the flour mixture. (Try to get as many chicken bites coated while your oil is heating up.)
  • Once oil is hot enough, add chicken pieces into pan. Do not over crowd and bring temperature of oil down!
  • When the chicken sides go from pink to white, flip onto other side.
  • Cook a total of 5-7 minutes or until 165°
  • Remove chicken bites from oil and drain on cooling rack. (Sprinkle with extra salt if desired.)
  • Enjoy!

Notes

*If you plan on freezing these to reheat later, do not cook all the way. Leave them slightly under temperature so when you reheat, they do not dry out.
*Can be stored in freezer just like prepared chicken bites and nuggets from the store.
