Bocconcini di Pollo Ranch Croccanti (Crispy Ranch Chicken Bites)
Treat yourself to a crunchy, flavorful delight that's bound to become a family favorite!
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, ranch seasoning, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg, allowing the excess to drip off.
Coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the crumbs.
Place the coated chicken bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken pieces to help them crisp up while baking.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Optional: In the last 5 minutes of baking, you can broil them on high for an additional crunch if desired.
