Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add panko breadcrumbs to a large baking sheet and spread out in an even layer. Spray breadcrumbs with nonstick olive oil cooking spray. Bake for 2 minutes, then stir breadcrumbs (or just give the pan a shake) and then bake for 2-3 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown. Keep heat in the oven.
- Transfer breadcrumbs to a medium bowl. Whisk in spices: salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk. Set aside.
- Line the large baking sheet with an oven safe wire metal rack. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Dip each chicken cube into the egg mixture, then use a tong to grab each chicken nugget and toss into the breadcrumb mixture to completely coat with breadcrumbs. Use tongs to transfer to the wire rack, placing about 1 inch apart.
- Generously spray the tops of the chicken nuggets with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and temp reaches 165 degrees F with a meat thermometer. Serves 4. Serve with BBQ sauce, honey mustard, ketchup or whatever sauce you'd like!

Steps:
- Dip cutlets in Eggbeaters in medium-sized mixing bowl, then transfer to Parmesan cheese in Ziplock bag.
- Really mix that cheese thoroughly, in every nook &cranny. **Remember: the more Parmesan you get onthe chicken, the crispier your nuggets are going to be!
- Fill pan halfway with oil, & keep heat at medium-High.
- Dip cutlets slowly into pan (I use a deep sauteer as a makeshift!) & carefully flip once undersides are a light golden brown.
- Chicken is done once golden brown & stark-white on the inside and looks almost "string-cheesy" when cut open.
- Enjoy. It looks & tastes just like restaurant-fried chicken!

Tips:
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily mince the chicken breasts.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can also chop the chicken breasts by hand, but it will take longer.
- Be sure to pat the chicken breasts dry before breading them. This will help the breading adhere better.
- Use a shallow dish for breading the chicken nuggets. This will make it easier to coat them evenly.
- Be sure to coat the chicken nuggets in the breading mixture twice. This will help them stay crispy.
- Use a wire rack to cool the chicken nuggets. This will help them stay crispy and prevent them from getting soggy.
- Serve the chicken nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce.
