Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 4 slices thinly sliced ham
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 whole eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0 olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

Cut the ham and Swiss cheese slices into small squares roughly the same size as the chicken pieces.

Step 4

Using a sharp knife, make a small slit in each chicken cube to form a pocket. Stuff each pocket with a piece of ham and cheese. Press gently to seal the opening.

Step 5

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Dip each stuffed chicken piece into the flour, ensuring it is lightly coated. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess egg to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs evenly.

Step 7

Place the breaded chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart so they cook evenly.

Step 8

Lightly spray the tops of the chicken bites with olive oil spray. This will help them get crispy and golden in the oven.

Step 9

Bake the chicken bites in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the outside is golden brown and crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the bites cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard or ranch.
