Here’s a recipe from my January cooking challenge!
Okay I know I say that every recipe is fantastic, but this is one of my favorites!! It’s easy, and super satisfying. I used to make a different version of these, but the Skinny Taste recipe wins again. This is a new staple in our house for sure!

- 16 oz (2 large) skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into even bit sized pieces
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp panko
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- olive oil spray (I used my Misto
)
Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.
Putthe olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and Parmesan cheese in another.Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken.
Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then bake 8 – 10 minutes. Turn over then cook another 4 – 5 minutes or until cooked though.

Callie’s tweaks: Since we never have panko in the house I just skipped it and used 2 extra tablespoons of bread crumbs.
Next time: Same thing only I’ll make a bunch to freeze!!
