Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the boneless skinless chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
In a food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they become a coarse breadcrumb-like texture. Transfer to a shallow bowl and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs until well blended.
Place the whole wheat flour in a third bowl.
Dredge each chicken cube in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat with the oat and cheese mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Set each coated chicken bite onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush or spray the top of each bite with olive oil to encourage browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the exterior is golden and crispy.
Serve the crispy chicken mini bites warm, with your favorite dipping sauce or on their own.
