Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 egg whites
- 0.25 cup hot sauce
- olive oil cooking spray
- 0.5 cup low-fat ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg whites, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat with the flour mixture.
Place the coated chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, turn the pieces over, and continue baking for another 5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is baking, heat the hot sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until warm.
Once the chicken bites are done, remove them from the oven and toss them gently in the warm hot sauce until evenly coated.
Serve immediately with low-fat ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
