Homemade Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets made with chicken breast coated in breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese air fried until crisp, golden and delicious!
Share:
Ingredients
- 16 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into even 1-inch bite sized pieces, from 2 large breasts)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt ( and black pepper, to taste)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 6 tablespoons whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons panko
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil spray (I used my Misto)
Instructions
- Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken.
- Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on the basket.
- Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then air fry 400F 8 minutes, turning halfway, until golden.

Notes
- Start with organic chicken, when possible. Trim any excess fat and cut the chicken into equal bite-sized pieces.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, cook them in batches as needed.
- Spray the chicken lightly with oil to get a golden crust, and avoid cooking sprays that have propellant.
- Always turn half way, this will ensure even, golden cooking on both sides.
- If you're serving everything at the same time and cooking in batches, you can add everything back into the basket once it cooks and heat 1 more minute so everything comes out hot at the same time.
