Directions to make Healthy Chicken Nuggets recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Place a wire rack over a baking tray lined with foil.  Generously cover with cooking spray.

Step 3

Cut chicken breasts into pieces roughly 1 1/2-2 inches long.  I cut them to fit my hands, so feel free to experiment here!

Step 4

In two separate mixing bowls/containers, whip an egg in one and pour the panko, breadcrumbs, and paprika in the other. Dash with salt/pepper.

Step 5

In assembly-line fashion, generously coat each nugget in the egg mixture (whip up another egg if necessary) and then in the breadcrumb mixture. Use a spoon to ensure they are completely coated.

Optional: You can use a large gallon-sized bag for your breadcrumb mixture to coat the nuggets!

Step 6

Place nuggets on the rack and coat with cooking spray.

Step 7

Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown; enjoy thoroughly when cool.
