Healthier Chicken Nuggets Made With Minimum Ingredients
These chicken nuggets are so quick and easy to make! You only need a few ingredients that I'm sure you already have in your pantry and fridge. You can avoid using any oil if you air-fry them but you can also make them deliciously decadent if you decide to fry them. You can also make them even healthier by omitting the breadcrumbs outer layer and butter.
Ingredients in Chicken Nuggets
You will need one chicken breast. Boil it or use a crockpot to cook it then shred it. (This makes it easier to blend). Then grab your food processor and blend the chicken.
You will need 3 eggs, panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and some herbs/spices. Use whatever you like there!
