1lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1” chunks)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
¼ cup milk
1 egg
½ cup dry Italian breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter (melted, if baking in the oven)
Oil (if deep frying)
Instructions
On a plate combine flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a small bowl beat egg and milk. On another plate combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
Coat chicken strips first in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat until all strips are coated.
If deep frying – Heat deep fryer to 360 degrees and deep fry chicken nuggets in batches for 6 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
If baking in the oven – Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken strips on a baking sheet and drizzle with melted butter. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until strips are no longer pink inside.
