Ingredients:
1 to 2 lbs Chicken Breasts cut into chunks *
4 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Cup Breadcrumbs *
4 Tbsp Parmesan/Cheddar Finely Grated Cheese *
Salt & Pepper 1 tsp each
*denotes a Homesteading Item
Directions:
-Pour 1 Tbsp olive oil on a baking sheet
-Pour 3 Tbsp (you may need more depending on qty of chicken) into a bowl
-Mix breadcrumbs, 1 tsp each of S&P, parmesan cheese together in a separate bowl
-Dip chicken chunks one by one into olive oil than coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pushing lightly on each side. Place onto prepared baking sheet. TIP: Use one hand for the olive oil/chicken and the other for the bread crumbs to keep your fingers from becoming club fingers all loaded up and wasting the gunk.
-When all the chicken is done place in a preheated 425 ° Oven for 15 minutes, then flip over (note: if they do not easily flip they are not ready to flip) bake for approx. another 5 minutes. Please keep watch depending on your oven and how large you cut the chunks.
How to Make Breadcrumbs: Loaf of bread or saved up ends/butts/rolls, etc (I save in the freezer until I get enough) Rip or chop up into large chunks/slices and place on a baking sheet in 325° for 30 minutes (can be much longer time depending on size/ frozen) make sure everything is completely dry. Place in a food processor or smash with a meat mallet. Place in a half gallon jar with a lid and you’ll have breadcrumbs whenever you need them! They never seem to go stale, yay! I leave them plain until I mix up with spices depending on what I’m making.
