Cheese-Stuffed Crispy Chicken Bites 
These crispy chicken bites are stuffed with gooey cheese and perfectly fried for a crunchy, cheesy delight. They're easy to make and a hit at any gathering!
Ingredients:
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 

1/2 cup flour 

1 egg, beaten 

1 cup panko breadcrumbs 

1 tsp garlic powder 

1 tsp onion powder 

1 tsp paprika 

Salt and pepper to taste 

Vegetable oil for frying 

Ranch or marinara sauce for dipping (optional) 

Instructions:
Prepare the chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks. Make a small pocket in each piece of chicken and stuff with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Dredge the chicken: In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat the chicken: Dip each stuffed chicken piece first in the flour, then the egg, and finally coat it with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
Fry the chicken: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the chicken in the oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and serve: Once cooked, place the chicken on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve with ranch or marinara sauce for dipping if desired!
