- Coat each chicken piece in egg, then in breadcrumbs until fully covered.
- Heat a pan on medium-low, add butter or coconut oil, and fry the chicken until golden and fully cooked.
- Preheat your oven to 185°C (365°F). Cut bread into small cubes, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat evenly. Spread on a lined baking sheet and bake until crispy and golden, turning occasionally. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!
