Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a bowl and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Breading Station
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and combine the breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese in the third bowl.

Bread the Chicken
Take each piece of seasoned chicken, dredge it in the flour, making sure to coat it completely. Next, dip it into the whisked eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Frying
- 4
Heat Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the heat by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle and bubble.

Fry the Chicken Bites
Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken bites and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
