Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Coating by setting up your dredging station with three bowls. In the first bowl, add all-purpose flour seasoned with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and a splash of water. Lastly, in the third bowl, combine panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and freshly grated Parmesan.
- Season the Chicken by cutting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Dredge the Chicken by dipping each piece in flour, shaking off excess, then in the egg mixture, and finally rolling in the panko mixture to ensure a solid coating.
- Heat the Oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until small bubbles form when a wooden spoon is dipped in.
- Fry the Chicken Bites in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- While still hot, place cubes of mozzarella on top and sprinkle with chopped basil. The heat will melt the cheese.
- Serve warm with a bowl of marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes
Fry in batches to maintain oil temperature and avoid sogginess. Reheat leftovers in the oven for best results.
