Baked Chicken Bites


Perfect for game day or a party, these chicken bites are easy to make and easier to eat!

3 large chicken breasts
2 eggs
1/2 sleeve (approx) of plain salted crackers
Salt
Pepper
Garlic salt
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Boil the chicken on high until maximum temperature is reached, then lower it to medium to boil until cooked. Once the chicken is no longer pink inside, it's fully cooked; remove it from the pot and onto a plate or cutting board. Cut into pieces about 1-2 inches cubed roughly. Beat two eggs in a bowl, and in another, crush the crackers into crumbs; large pieces are fine but make sure they're not too big.

Coat one piece of chicken in the egg, transfer to cracker crumbs and cover completely before placing on a baking sheet. Repeat with each piece of chicken until finished and dispose of any extra egg or cracker crumbs. Sprinkle salt over the chicken to preference, then the pepper and garlic salt, about half the amount you used for the salt. Then melt the butter, add in the lemon juice, and pour evenly over each chicken bite, about a teaspoon each. This was the perfect amount for what I had but if you need more, adjust measures of butter and lemon juice. Then stick them in the oven for between 15 and 20 minutes, until golden brown. Because the chicken was already boiled until ready to eat there's no need to worry about making sure that it's done inside, because it already is.

Serve hot with ketchup, mustard, honey mustard, mayo, or whatever your preference for dipping sauce is!

This would be the perfect recipe to liven up any leftover boiled chicken, or simply boil the chicken before your event and refrigerate until needed, as after boiling it takes under 10 minutes to prepare! Enjoy!
