Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 1/2 cups ground flax seeds
- 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, grated (optional)
- salt
- pepper
- onion powder
- paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
- If your chicken breasts have attached cutlets, detach them. Slice each breast in half horizontally to create thinner pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel for better seasoning adhesion.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts and cutlets with salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika, ensuring each piece is lightly but evenly coated with the spices.
- Cut the chicken into 2-inch cubes.
- Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the ground flax seeds and grated Parmigiano Reggiano, if using.
- Dip each seasoned chicken cube into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll the chicken in the flax seed mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
- Arrange the coated chicken pieces on a greased or lined baking sheet. If you have a backing rack, lightly coat it with oil and use it on your baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink on the inside and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
