Ingredients
16 ounces boneless and skinless chicken breasts, from 2 large breasts
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 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
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.
Cut the chicken into small bite sized pieces.
Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken.
Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on the baking sheet.
Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then bake 8 – 10 minutes. Turn over then cook another 4 – 5 minutes or until cooked through.
