Ingredients

• :Chicken bites:
• 4 jumbo chicken tenderloins (about 10-12 ounces total)
• 1/2 cup mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley
• 1/2 cup cooked and chopped bacon
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup canola oil
• :Bacon aioli:
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• 4 bacon strips, cooked and roughly chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
Roll chicken tenderloins in mustard powder. Combine chopped parsley, cooked bacon and panko in a separate bowl. In a third bowl, beat eggs with 3 tablespoons water.
Dredge the chicken in the egg wash, covering the chicken completely. Remove it from the egg wash, allow any excess liquid to drip off, and roll the chicken in panko mix until completely covered. Remove and place in refrigerator until ready to cook.
When ready to cook, heat 1 cup oil in a saucepan over medium heat and cook both sides of chicken until chicken is cooked through, about 2–3 minutes each side (internal temperature of 160°F). Cut chicken into 1/2-inch pieces and serve with bacon aioli.

Notes: The chicken can be breaded two weeks ahead of time and frozen in an airtight container. When you plan to use it, remove it from the freezer 1 hour prior to cooking, then follow the normal procedure.

Use shrimp, pork, or even a zucchini stick as a variation for this fun, tasty morsel.
