Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the panko breadcrumbs with the olive oil. Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden-brown and crisp, 4-5 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then transfer to a large bowl and stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and paprika, if using.
  3. Place a large baking rack on top of the rimmed baking sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Add flour to a medium-sized bowl. In another medium bowl, beat eggs together until combined.
  4. One at a time, dredge the chicken pieces in the flour, then dip in the egg. Shake off the excess egg, then roll in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to encourage them to stick to the chicken as much as possible. Transfer the breaded chicken pieces to the oiled baking rack.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crisp and cooked through (a thermometer should read 165°F). Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Tip: Pound your chicken breast out to make it even for baking. This helps take the guesswork out of making sure each nugget is cooked with the thermometer.
