Instructions:

- Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-2 inches.
- In a shallow bowl or dish, combine the 2 cups of bread crumbs with the coarsely crushed peanuts. Mix thoroughly to ensure the peanuts are evenly distributed throughout the bread crumbs.
- Place the 1/2 cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl and warm it slightly in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. This will make it easier to coat the chicken pieces. Stir the peanut butter to ensure it is smooth and spreadable.
- Take each piece of chicken and dip it into the warmed peanut butter, making sure to coat it evenly on all sides.
- Immediately after coating with peanut butter, roll each chicken piece in the bread crumb and peanut mixture. Press the crumbs onto the chicken pieces to ensure they adhere well.

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Place the coated chicken pieces on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
- Once all the chicken bites are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter.
- Serve hot as a main dish or as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce.
