Baked Chicken Nuggets Recipe
Description
The Baked Chicken Nuggets Recipe uses chicken breast cut into approximately 1.5-inch pieces. They are coated in a mixture of plain bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic salt with parsley flakes, and Italian seasoning for flavor. The coating process involves a flour dip, then egg wash, followed by the crumb mixture, which helps the seasoning adhere well. Baking on a wire rack allows heat circulation to crisp the coating evenly. After an initial bake, the nuggets are flipped, sprayed with olive oil, baked again, and finished under the broiler on both sides to develop a golden crisp crust. This method provides a crunchy texture without deep frying.
The nuggets are best served warm, suitable as a snack, appetizer, or part of a main meal. The Parmesan and seasoning blend bring a savory, slightly herby taste to the nuggets, complementing the mild chicken flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 cup bread crumbs Plain
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 teaspoons garlic salt with parsley flakes
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 egg
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cut chicken into bite-size pieces (about 1.5 inch).
- Mix together bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and spices in a shallow bowl. Add flour to a second bowl. In a third bowl beat together the eggs and water.
- Dip chicken into flour, then egg mixture, and finally the crumb mixture. Place onto a wire rack on top of a foil-lined baking sheet. Spray with olive oil.
- Bake for 10 minutes, flip spray with oil and bake 8 more minutes. Broil on HIGH for 1-2 minutes. Flip pieces and broil an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side. Serve warm.
