Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
Nonstick olive oil cooking spray
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper*
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons almond milk (or milk of choice)
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into into 1 inch cubes

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!

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.
