# How-To:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray or olive oil.

03 - In another shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Asiago cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
04 - Dip each chicken chunk into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the Asiago-panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
05 - Place coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil for enhanced crispiness.
