Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko or regular)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs, beaten

½ cup Caesar salad dressing

1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

      In a separate bowl, beat the two eggs until well combined.

        Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until thoroughly covered.

          Place the coated chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

            Bake the chicken bites in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

              In a large bowl, toss the baked chicken bites with the Caesar salad dressing until evenly coated.

                To serve, arrange the chicken bites on a platter and garnish with chopped romaine lettuce. Serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
