Get ready to indulge in a mouthwatering masterpiece with these Crispy Garlic Parm Alfredo Bites! Tender chicken pieces coated in a crispy, flavorful panko-parmesan breading, then drizzled with a rich and creamy Alfredo sauce – it’s the ultimate party appetizer or indulgent snack.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 large egg, whisked
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.
2. In one shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
3. Working in batches, dip the chicken pieces into the whisked egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, transfer the egg-coated chicken to the panko-parmesan mixture and gently press to help the breading adhere.
4. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the breaded chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the breading is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
5. While the chicken is cooking, take a moment to gently heat the Alfredo sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until it’s warmed through and creamy.
6. Once the chicken is crispy and golden, arrange the Crispy Garlic Parm Alfredo Bites on a serving platter. Drizzle the warm Alfredo sauce over the top or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for a beautiful and appetizing presentation.
Notes
For the best texture and flavor, opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
If you’re looking to switch things up, you can also try coating the chicken in a seasoned flour mixture before dipping it in the egg and panko-parmesan breading.
Be sure to cook the chicken in batches, maintaining the oil temperature between 350-375°F (177-191°C).
