Crispy Picky Eater Chicken and Sweet Potato Bites

To make crispy picky eater chicken and sweet potato bites, we start with simple ingredients. You will need:

- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced into small cubes

- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole grain)

- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 teaspoon paprika

- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 2 eggs, beaten

- Olive oil cooking spray

First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps with easy cleanup and keeps the bites from sticking.

Next, boil water in a pot. Add the diced sweet potato and cook for about 10 minutes. You want them fork-tender but not mushy. Drain them and let them cool for a bit.

While the sweet potatoes cool, mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. This mix adds great flavor and crunch.

Now, take a piece of chicken. Dip it into the beaten eggs, letting the extra drip off. Then, coat it in the breadcrumb mix. Press gently so the crumbs stick well. Do the same with the sweet potato cubes.

Arrange the chicken and sweet potato bites on the baking sheet. Make sure they are in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil cooking spray. This will make them crispy and golden.

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F. The bites should be golden and crispy when done.

Once baked, let them cool slightly before serving. You can serve these bites on a colorful platter. Pair them with a dipping sauce like honey mustard or yogurt dip. Garnish with fresh parsley for a nice touch. Enjoy!
