This recipe simply just works on every level – easy to make, kid friendly, nice on the wallet, and it is yummy to boot! You can use gluten free bread crumbs to make this gluten free as well 🙂 Mr.Savvy has eaten up to 30 ( yes 30 ) of these “famous” chicken nuggets at a time.

What I like to do is make the recipe when I get a good deal on chicken and freeze the cooked nuggets so Mr.Savvy can have a snack whenever he wants 🙂

They can be breaded in advance and fried  or baked later in the day , or just bread and fry them the night before and just microwave them!

What You Need

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs ( or gluten free bread crumbs)
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1.5 teaspoon garlic powder ( not shown in picture above)
  • Salt and pepper ( a couple pinches of each)
  • 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil

What To Do

Mix Egg and Milk together

In a large bowl soak chicken in the egg mixture.

In a bowl combine panko, pepper, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

Take a cookie sheet and place paper towels on top.

Heat oil in a pan and add chicken ( after you roll it in the panko mixture)  – cook till golden brown ( 5 minutes each side)

 

 Transfer chicken to the paper towel to cool.

Enjoy

Again these freeze very well – you can also bake these bad boys at 350 for about 15 minutes.
