Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken:

    - In a bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

      - Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it generously with panko breadcrumbs. Place the coated chicken bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

        Cook the Chicken:

          - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

            - In a large skillet, heat enough oil to cover the bottom over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the breaded chicken bites and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

              Prepare Garlic Butter:

                - In a separate small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and golden (be careful not to burn the garlic).

                  Toss Chicken in Garlic Butter:

                    - Once the chicken bites are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter over the chicken and toss well to coat each piece with the buttery goodness.

                      Garnish and Serve:

                        - Transfer the garlic butter chicken bites to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side to squeeze over the top.
