Baked chicken bites with a MEALUP dip
Jump to recipeThese baked chicken bites with dip are ready in 35 minutes and give you 65 g of protein per serving, with MEALUP Hard Italian Cheese stirred into the dip. Crispy outside, juicy inside, and no frying.
The breadcrumb coating gives you the crunch, and baking saves oil and time at the stove. The yogurt dip is a light, fresh contrast to the crispy bites.
MEALUP Hard Italian Cheese is stirred into the finished, cold dip before serving. You taste the hard cheese with every dunk.
