Ingredients

Chicken Breading:

1 tsp. garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
1 cup Panko* breadcrumbs
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried basil
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch bites

2 large eggs
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and prepare a cookie sheet with a layer of aluminum foil, sprayed with nonstick spray.
Combine the panko breadcrumbs, dried oregano, and dried basil into a food process or blender and process until it reaches a finer texture - approximately 2-3 minutes. Place into a large bowl with the parmesan cheese and set aside.
Combine remaining seasonings into a medium bowl.
Add the eggs to a separate bowl and whisk for 1 minute.
Dip the chicken chunks into the seasonings, thoroughly coating them. Once coated, dunk the chunks into the whisked eggs followed by the panko breadcrumbs mixture.
Add the chicken to the cookie sheet making sure to evenly space the pieces out. Bake for 10-12 minutes, removing them to flip and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes. Time will be dependent on how thick your chicken chunks are cut.

Notes

*Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store.
