Recipe Information
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
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
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.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the cold water and continue whisking until fully combined.
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.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Dip each chicken piece into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, and place onto the prepared baking tray.
Once all the chicken bites are coated and placed on the tray, lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.
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.
Carefully remove from the oven and let the chicken bites cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with your choice of low-fat dipping sauce or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
