4. Preheat oven at 425 F. Line a baking sheet with Aluminium foil and lightly grease it.

4. Coat the chicken cubes with olive oil and then roll in bread crumb mixture. Place on the foil. (You can coat them again in olive oil and bread crumb mixture, but that’s optional ). Spray the arranged chicken pieces lightly with olive oil/ any cooking oil spray.
