Homemade Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 large eggs
• 2 Tablespoons milk
• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into 1 inch cubes)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Add panko breadcrumbs to the parchment lined large baking sheet and spread out in an even layer. Bake for 2 -3 minutes, then stir breadcrumbs and then bake for 2-3 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown. (Watch them closely so they don’t burn.) Immediately, remove breadcrumbs from the oven and add them to a small bowl. Whisk in spices: salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder. Set aside. Increase the oven to 425 F and add a oven safe wire mack.

3. 3

   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Set aside.

4. 4

   Dip each chicken cube into the egg mixture, then toss it into the breadcrumb mixture to completely coat with breadcrumbs. Transfer to the wire rack, placing them about 1 inch apart.

5. 5

   Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

6. 6

   Serve warm with honey mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce, fry sauce or whatever sauce you’d like!
