Who doesn't love chicken nuggets? Those things can be so addicting. Let's face it though those bagged nuggets from the store or the ones from the drive thru are not our best choice. My boys love chicken nuggets. Sometimes that is all the "meat" my youngest will eat. It is sometimes the only way to get any into him. He will otherwise live off PBjs for his entire life.
Anyway, so I've been wanting to make them at home because I know they would be so much more cheaper, healthier, and delicious.
Here's what you need:
1-1.5lbs chicken breast
Seasoning of choice
3-4 handfuls of bread crumbs
2-3 eggs
Coconut oil or your choice of oil for pan frying.
Deep baking pan or large bowl for breading
Steps:
1. Crack eggs into bowl and beat lightly.
2. Cut chicken breast into 1 inch pieces
3. Season to liking
4. Dip chicken into eggs. Let it sit for a bit to absorb.
5. Throw into bowl with bread crumbs, and make sure they are generously coated.
6. Fry until golden brown or color of choice. Keep in mind the darker the coating the dryer the chicken will be.
7. Serve as snack or meal paired with your favorite sides. We did Mac & cheese and corn.
Ps. For a little extra treat I added Parmesan cheese to my bread crumbs. So so so good! Mason kept going back for more. Logan loved them!!
