Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large Medium eggs
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1 inch in size, and set aside.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
In another shallow dish, place the gluten-free all-purpose flour.
In a third shallow dish, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken pieces into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Press the chicken pieces into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated with the crumb mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken nuggets to the skillet in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken nuggets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
