Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Egg whites
- 150 milliliters Cold water
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Add salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well to combine.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the cold water and continue whisking until fully combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until you achieve a smooth batter consistency. Avoid overmixing to prevent gluten formation which can toughen the batter.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Step 6
Dip each chicken piece into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, and place onto the prepared baking tray.
Step 7
Once all the chicken bites are coated and placed on the tray, lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.
Step 8
Place the tray into the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken bites are cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Step 9
Carefully remove from the oven and let the chicken bites cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve with your choice of low-fat dipping sauce or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
