Ingredients

• 2 pieces (approximately 1.5 lbs total) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 large egg whites
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup whey protein isolate powder
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0 olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes, and set aside.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg whites and almond milk until well combined.

Step 4

In another shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, whey protein powder, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 5

Dip each chicken piece into the egg white mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 6

Place the coated chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.

Step 7

Lightly spray the tops of the chicken bites with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken bites are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should read 165°F).

Step 9

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your high protein crispy chicken bites with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a salad or wrap.
