Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (optional for extra color)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, around 1-inch each.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the chicken cubes and toss until well-coated.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Coat each chicken cube in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in breadcrumbs until fully coated. Set the breaded chicken cubes aside on a plate.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat (temperature of 350°F/175°C).

Step 6

Fry the chicken cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking each batch for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cubes and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

For the dipping sauce, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness and tanginess by adding more honey or mustard if desired.

Step 8

Serve the fried Cajun chicken cubes hot with the honey mustard dipping sauce on the side.
