Chicken Parmesan Bites
.The big game of 2020 is almost here! Whether you are a football fan and wait all year for the game or you love watching your favorite sport (whatever that may be), these Chicken Parmesan Bites make any game day gathering just a little bit better! This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.
I can't tell you how many times in my life when I have been out to eat, that I have thought to myself "I bet they make a good Chicken Parm" and ordered it. To me, it's just one of those foods you just can't mess up and its pure comfort food. Seriously, as is, made into a hoagie (I am from Philly), or a panini...I will take it!
Serve these fun Chicken Parmesan Bites for any kind of gathering or for a family game night, movie night or just for fun. I used the new Ragu Simply Roasted Garlic Sauce to dip the bites in. Ragu has been in my life since I was born, and it just keeps getting better with new flavors, bold taste, fresh ingredients. It has no added sugar and is made with 100% olive oil. It's a simple yet delicious flavor. I also used 4C Breadcrumbs for the chicken (love their added herbs and spices.
Here are some other snacks and food ideas to put out for either the big game or your next gathering:
To make entertaining super easy this game day pick up a couple of bags of Late July's Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips and Thick and Chunky Salsa. No one can resist the siren call of good chips and salsa! I especially love their lime chips! Late July Chips are organic, made with 100% whole grain, kosher and gluten-free. Their salsa is also organic and Non-GMO Project Verified. Great taste and great quality, look for them.
Another great idea for a satisfying and tasty food to put out that's not much work at all are my Roast Beef Sliders, these are made much easier using Big Lou's Onion Sauce, yum!! No need to spend time sautéing or caramelizing your onions for sliders, burgers, hot dogs or steaks when Big Lou does it for you! Sautéed onions in a jar, love it!

Love it when brands make my cooking time move quicker with a kitchen hack or product I can use such as Dorot Gardens pre-portion garlic and/or ginger. Flash-frozen at their just-picked peak within 90 minutes of harvest no peeling or chopping necessary, just the flavor you want at the ready!
How To Make Chicken Parmesan Bites
To make these fun Chicken Parm Bites, start with boneless chicken breasts. Cut them into chunks (either one-bite chunks or two-bite chunks), season with salt and pepper and then set them aside. Grab a couple of paper plates for easy cleanup and place breadcrumbs on one plate and flour on the other (season the flour with salt and pepper and if you like some garlic salt or garlic powder). In a bowl whisk 2 eggs.
Then simply dip each piece first into the flour to coat, tap off the excess and dip it into the egg mixture, shake off the excess and coat with the breadcrumbs and place on a baking sheet until ready to cook. This is a great recipe for your kid's help out with at any age!
Heat oil in a non-stick pan and cook chicken bites in batches until browned on all sides. It doesn't take long. Add small amounts of additional oil as needed. After all chicken pieces are browned, bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through. (Cook time will vary based on the size of your chicken pieces).
Serve Chicken Parmesan Bites alongside pasta sauce, sprinkle both with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for garnish and enjoy!
Cooking Tips: First, make sure your oil is hot before you place chicken pieces in (or else they will absorb too much oil) test it out by adding one piece, you want to hear a little sizzle as it hits the pan.
Second, don't crowd the chicken pieces as they cook, if you do they will become soggy due to steam. The same goes for when you place them in the oven. Use tongs for gentle turning of the chicken pieces.
For fun, I have also made these Chicken Parmesan Bites and placed them on skewers for an easy pick-up app. You can skewer either just one or two at a time. The kids like it when I melt Mozzarella cheese overtop.
