Ingredients You'll Need
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 large eggs, beaten
Olive oil spray (optional, for extra crispness)
Preparing the Chicken Skewers
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes for tender, bite-sized pieces.
Thread chicken pieces onto skewers, ensuring even spacing for perfect cooking.
Making the Parmesan Coating
In a shallow bowl, mix 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs for dipping the chicken.
Coating the Chicken
Dip each chicken skewer into the beaten eggs, then coat with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure a crispy crust.
Baking the Skewers
Place the coated chicken skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive oil for extra crispiness (optional).
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe and juicy results.
Serving
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch for an irresistible appetizer or party snack.
