Homemade chicken nuggets…
It’s so easy to make your own chicken nuggets, not to mention healthier than the frozen kind you get at the grocery store! Look how simple it is…
Chicken Nuggets
- boneless skinless chicken breasts
- an egg
- plain breadcrumbs
- seasonings (such as garlic powder, pepper & italian seasoning)
- Parmesan cheese
- olive oil
Start by cutting chicken into small bite sized pieces. In two seperate bowls add 1 egg with a little water. Next add breadcrumbs along with seasonings in second bowl.
Place chicken in egg mixture to coat. Next add chicken to breadcrumb mixture. Once coated, add chicken to a pan with olive oil & saute’ turning til golden brown. Remove from pan & place on a plate along with paper towel to remove excess oil. Sprinkle with cheese before serving.
*Goes awesome with ranch dressing*

This recipe looks delicious! I always make mine plain, so the parmesan cheese sounds like a good thing to add, thanks!

Is this based off of the recipe in the NYTimes? They look very similar! Thanks for this, sounds very easy and tasty.

These look great. I’m a big fan of chicken nuggets, too, and I just finished some mozzerella sticks I’d made and I realized that it’s just about the same way to prep them. Dip in beaten egg, roll in breadcrumb mix, freeze, then fry.

bet they would be just as good (an much healthier) baked. the real bummer i run into is finding packaged bread crumbs that don’t contain hydrogenated oils.
