How to Make Baked Popcorn Chicken
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly coat the baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 large egg whites, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon salt until well combined.
- In a shallow dish, spread out the 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs.
- Add the 1 lb of 1-inch chicken pieces to the egg mixture and toss gently to coat completely.
- Transfer the chicken pieces to the panko bread crumbs, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Gently press the crumbs onto the chicken to help them adhere.
- Arrange the breaded chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully use a spatula to flip each chicken piece.
- Continue baking for another 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
- Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, healthy popcorn chicken!
