Preparation

Step 1

Place the egg whites shallow bowl. Place the breadcrumbs on a plate or piece of waxed paper and mix in the lemon pepper seasoning with your fingertips. Dip the chicken chunks into the egg whites then press into the breadcrumb mixture. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate covered, at least 30 minutes to help the breadcrumbs adhere.

Preheat the oven to 400F. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil and the chicken. Cook the chicken 2 to 3 minutes, per side turning once until the chicken has browned. Slide the skillet into the oven and bake 4 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately.
