Steps
The oven-baked chicken and bacon bites are very simple and quick to prepare. First, cut the chicken breast into small pieces, place them in a bowl, and salt them.
Add the bacon sticks, cornmeal, grated Parmesan cheese, spices to taste (I used rosemary, thyme, paprika, and garlic powder), minced garlic, and parsley, and mix all the ingredients well.
Transfer the chicken and bacon bites to a baking tray and spread them evenly, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil, and bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, until they are golden brown.
Notes:
The oven-baked chicken and bacon bites can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days. You can use breadcrumbs instead of cornmeal. You can replace bacon with pancetta.
