Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Set up three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs combined with garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- Cut the chicken breasts into uniform bite-sized pieces.
- Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, dip it in the egg mixture (letting excess drip off), then coat it in the panko mixture.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Fry the nuggets until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
Notes
- For extra crunch, consider swapping panko breadcrumbs for crushed cornflakes.
- Marinate chicken pieces for an hour before breading for enhanced flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days; reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 10 minutes.
