Introduction
A kid-friendly, bite-sized version of classic chicken parmesan using chicken tenderloins. The chicken is tenderized with a spiked mallet to mimic the texture of chicken nuggets, brined in a flavorful white wine solution, and coated in a crispy panko-herb-parmesan crust.
Step 1
Place the chicken tenderloins on a cutting board, cover them with plastic wrap, and pound them flat using a spiked meat mallet to tenderize them.
Step 2
Smash the garlic cloves using the meat mallet.
Step 3
Transfer the chicken and smashed garlic into a measuring cup or bowl, then pour in 200g of dry white wine.
Step 4
Add 10g of salt (about 5% of the wine's weight) and black pepper to create a quick brine. Stir well and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.
Step 5
On a large plate, mix panko breadcrumbs, grated cheese, black pepper, a tiny pinch of salt, and fresh torn parsley and basil.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using chicken tenderloins instead of whole chicken breast makes slicing unnecessary and cooks quickly.
A spiked meat mallet breaks down the chicken muscle fibers, giving the final product a softer texture similar to ground chicken nuggets.
Brining the chicken in a salty wine solution ensures the meat stays juicy even if slightly overcooked.
Egg white yields a lighter, crispier crust compared to using a whole egg.
Keeping the fried chicken bites in a warm oven for a few minutes before serving allows the moisture to equilibrate, softening the meat slightly like fast-food nuggets.
