Homemade chicken nuggets

Nicole Mergen

If you’re still a kid at heart, give these simple homemade chicken nuggets a whirl.

Ingredients:

1-2 chicken breasts

1 egg

1 cup breadcrumbs

¼ cup parmesan cheese

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Cooking oil

Directions:

Chop chicken into small chunks.

Beat the egg in a shallow bowl.

In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, cheese, paprika and garlic powder.

Make one hand the “wet hand” and the other the “dry hand.”

With your wet hand, toss some chicken chunks into the egg mixture until coated on all sides.

Next, drop them onto the breadcrumb mixture, sprinkling some on top with your dry hand until all sides are covered.

Repeat these steps with the rest of the chicken chunks until you have your desired amount.

Heat a thin layer of oil in a large pan over medium-low heat.

Cook the chicken nuggets for several minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked completely through.

Transfer nuggets onto a plate and drain any excess oil with a paper towel.

This easy recipe is perfect for college students because you can freeze the leftovers and enjoy them another day.
