Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breasts skinless and boneless cut into small 1 inch cubes
- 4 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups breadcrumbs or corn flake crumbs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large Dutch Oven or pot add vegetable oil so that you have at least 1½ inches deep. Heat the oil so that it's around 350℉.
- Meanwhile season the chicken with salt, pepper and 1 tsp of Italian seasoning. Set aside.
- In a shallow plate add the eggs, heavy cream and another tsp of the Italian seasoning and whisk well.
- In another shallow plate add the breadcrumbs with 1 tsp of Italian seasoning and mix.
- Finally, add the flour with the last tsp of Italian seasoning to a shallow plate and mix.
- Arrange your shallow plates so that you have the flour mixture, egg mixture and finally the breadcrumb mixture. You'll need an empty plate, or I used a baking sheet to place the breaded chicken in.
- Dredge the chicken pieces through the flour, then the egg mixture and finally the breadcrumb mixture.
- Fry a few pieces of chicken at a time, so that they don't stick together. They should take about 6 to 7 minutes before they're cooked through. You might want to cut into a piece to make sure it's no longer pink inside. Continue frying in batches until done.
- Season fried chicken with salt and Italian seasoning, if preferred.
- Serve the chicken with lemon wedges.

Notes
- If you want crispier chicken bites you use Corn Flake crumbs.
- You can store these fully cooked in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 – 4 days. Feel free to crisp them back up in the oven rather than the microwave when ready to feast and enjoy!
- You can store these in the freezer for up to 1 month if you’d like to prepare these in advance. Just batter the chicken and then lay them on a baking sheet and freeze them, uncooked. Seal in an airtight container once frozen and bake at 425 F degrees for 20 – 25 minutes from frozen when ready to eat.
