# Ingredients:
→ Dipping Sauce
01 -
2 tablespoons low-salt soy sauce
02 -
2 tablespoons honey
→ Seasoning and Coating
03 -
25 g shredded Parmesan
04 -
0.5 teaspoon black pepper, ground
05 -
0.5 teaspoon salt
06 -
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Chicken
09 -
680 g chicken breast, no bones or skin
# Steps:
01 -
Pile the hot chicken bites onto a plate, and either pour on the sauce or pop it in a bowl for dipping.
02 -
Grab a bowl and blend your honey with the soy sauce while the bites finish in the oven.
03 -
Slide that dish into the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes. You want golden tops and chicken cooked through—shoot for an inside temp of at least 74°C.
04 -
Toss each chunk of meat in your cheesy seasoning mix, making sure they're all well covered, then lay them out flat in the greased dish.
05 -
Mix your Parmesan, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and olive oil together in a bowl until you get a thick, gooey mix.
06 -
Chop the chicken into small chunks, then dust them with pepper and salt until they’re nicely covered.
07 -
Turn your oven up to 200°C. Spray a baking dish with a bit of nonstick spray so nothing sticks.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure your chicken sits in one layer in the dish so every bite browns and cooks evenly.
02 -
Let the chicken cool just a bit before you dig in. It’ll stay juicy that way.
