Serving size
Ingredients
12 ounces chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons and ¼ cup olive oil, divided
½ cup breadcrumbs
¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Pinch salt (optional, not included in nutrient analysis)
Instructions
- Place the chicken pieces in a mixing bowl.
- Add the 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Add the breadcrumbs, pepper and salt (if using) to the bowl. Mix well to coat the chicken pieces.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining ¼ cup olive oil.
- Sauté the chicken in the hot oil in batches; do not crowd the chicken pieces so they can become evenly crispy and browned.
- Serve with vegetable and grain side dishes.
Cooking Tip
Cut the chicken pieces so they are about 2 inches long and rather uneven. When coated and sautéed they will look more appetizing and natural than if you cut them into precise cubes.
