About CRISPY CHICKEN FRITTA

Like we said earlier, Crispy Chicken Fritta is a yummy Italian appetizer that’s perfect for parties or when you’re just craving something delicious. The crispy chicken is seasoned with paprika, garlic, and oregano, so it has a unique flavor that pairs well with the tangy marinara sauce.

This recipe is really easy to make because you can use store-bought breadcrumbs to save time. All you have to do is cut up your bread into bite-size pieces and season them with a bit of salt and pepper before tossing them with olive oil (I used olive oil spray). If you don’t have any breadcrumbs on hand, feel free to substitute Italian breadcrumbs instead!

What is Crispy Chicken Fritta Olive Garden?

Crispy Chicken Fritta is a new appetizer from Olive Garden. It’s made with crispy chicken and served with a side of tzatziki sauce.

It’s only available as an appetizer at Olive Garden locations across the country, but if you’re in the mood for something that’ll make you feel like you’re on vacation, this is definitely worth checking out!

Ingredient

Use the following ingredients:

  • 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Parmesan cheese
  • bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Italian seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Green onion tops, sliced into thin rings

Instructions on How To Make Olive Garden Crispy Chicken Fritta

It’s a simple recipe that requires only eight ingredients and 30 minutes of preparation.

Step 1: make the breading.

  • In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper and Italian seasoning mix.
  • Next, add the olive oil and mix well with your hands until it looks like a fine crumbly mixture. You don’t want any large pieces or clumps of breadcrumbs—they’ll make your fritta soggy.

Step 2: Prepare your chicken breasts:

  • If they’re thick-cut breasts (like I used), slice them in half lengthwise. Then make sure to discard any excess fat or skin from each piece.
  • Place each piece on top of one another so that there is an overlap—this will help keep them from drying out during cooking time! Use kitchen twine to tie around each breast so that they stay together as you cook them later on down below.

Step 3: Baking

  • Next, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius)
  • Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked.

Recipe Tips: What could make the Recipe even better?

The best part about Crispy chicken fritta is that it’s all about the sauce. It’s basically a dipping sauce and you can really get creative with it!

  1. Try mixing it with ranch dressing and you have yourself a chicken sandwich or mix in some mayo for an extra kick. Or try mixing in your favorite pizza sauce for a unique twist on this classic dish.
  2. You can also change up the breading on your frittata by simply changing up the spices used to coat them. Try adding cumin, paprika, or even just plain old salt and pepper. You’ll be surprised how much flavor you can get out of these simple adjustments!
  3. If you’re looking to make this meal even easier on yourself, try making your own marinara sauce instead of buying bottled at the store! You’ll save money and won’t have any preservatives running through your body while eating delicious food!

Health Benefits of Crispy Chicken Fritta

Crispy chicken fritta is a healthier alternative to fried chicken, and it’s a lot more fun to eat!

Crispy chicken fritta is a great option for anyone looking for something healthier than traditional fried chicken. It’s made of crispy breaded chicken, which means that you don’t have to use as much oil when frying it. The breading also helps to keep the meat from getting soggy or mushy, which is why this recipe works well with whatever your favorite dipping sauce may be.

You can also choose to cook the crispy chicken fritta in the oven instead of frying it. This will cut down on the amount of oil used while cooking as well as leaving you with a bit more time to enjoy your meal.
