Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, around 1-inch each.
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.
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
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.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat (temperature of 350°F/175°C).
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.
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.
Serve the fried Cajun chicken cubes hot with the honey mustard dipping sauce on the side.
