Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Unsalted chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all seasonings are evenly distributed.
Gradually whisk in the unsalted chicken broth and white vinegar to form a smooth, thick batter. Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture.
Add the chicken pieces to the batter, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow it to marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with olive oil.
Arrange the battered chicken bites onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not touch each other.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken bites with olive oil to promote even browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the batter is golden and crisp, flipping the bites halfway through using tongs or a spatula.
Serve immediately with your choice of low-sodium dipping sauce or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
