What You'll Need

1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes

1½ cups Italian breadcrumbs

2 large eggs, beaten

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup marinara sauce, for serving

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

How to Make It

步骤

Season the chicken cubes with salt and black pepper. Lightly season the mozzarella cubes as well.

Wrap each chicken cube around a cube of mozzarella, pressing firmly to completely seal the cheese inside.

Set up three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the breadcrumbs mixed with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

Coat each chicken bomb in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, then roll in the seasoned breadcrumbs until evenly coated.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the chicken bombs in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, turning frequently until golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Serve hot with warm marinara sauce for dipping and garnish with fresh basil if desired.
