Cooking: 20 minutes

Total: 35 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup milk
Cooking oil for frying

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to make sure they stick.
Heat about 1/4 inch of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken nuggets in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked nuggets to the wire rack on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
