Ingredients for Crispy Chicken and Avocado Bites
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg (beaten)
- 1 ripe avocado (sliced into small pieces)
- 1/3 cup ranch dressing (or spicy mayo for a kick)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (for garnish)
- Oil for frying
Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Coating
In a bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place flour in a separate bowl and beaten egg in another.
2️⃣ Coat the Chicken
Dip each chicken piece into the flour, then the beaten egg, and finally coat with the seasoned panko mixture.
3️⃣ Fry Until Crispy
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken pieces for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
4️⃣ Assemble the Bites
Place each crispy chicken bite on a platter. Top with a small avocado slice and drizzle with ranch dressing or spicy mayo.
5️⃣ Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately for the best flavor and crunch.
Tips for Perfect Crispy Chicken and Avocado Bites
🥑 Use Ripe Avocados
Make sure your avocado is ripe but firm so it holds its shape when placed on the chicken.
🍗 Double-Coat for Extra Crunch
For even crispier chicken, dip each piece in egg and breadcrumbs twice.
🌮 Add a Spicy Kick
Mix hot sauce into the ranch dressing for a bold, spicy drizzle.
🔥 Bake Instead of Frying
For a healthier option, bake the chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through.
