Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup (100g) instant potato flakes

1/2 cup (50g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp dried dill weed

Zest of 1 lemon

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 large eggs, beaten

1/4 cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice

Olive oil spray (or vegetable oil for frying)

Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken pieces with lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure all the chicken is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step boosts the flavor of the chicken.

    Prepare the Coating: In a separate bowl, combine the instant potato flakes, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, dried dill weed, and lemon zest. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. This blend will form a deliciously crispy coating for the chicken.

      Set Up Your Breading Station: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange your breading station by placing the marinated chicken in one bowl, the beaten eggs in another, and the potato mixture in a third. This will streamline the breading process.

        Bread the Chicken: Working with one piece of marinated chicken at a time, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, roll it in the potato mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks well. Place the coated chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all chicken pieces are breaded.

          Bake the Chicken Bites: Lightly spray the coated chicken bites with olive oil to promote a crispy texture. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Flip the chicken bites halfway through the baking time for an even crust.

            Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes to enhance their flavor and texture. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs for a burst of color. Serve warm alongside lemon wedges for added zest, or with your favorite dipping sauce.
