Ingredients
- 2 pcs chicken breasts
- 2 pcs garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 2 pcs eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks and set aside.
Step 3
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh parsley as well.
Step 4
In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Place the flour on a separate plate.
Step 6
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
Step 7
Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, ensuring it’s lightly coated, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks well.
Step 8
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken nuggets in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 9
Transfer the partially cooked chicken pieces to the prepared baking tray and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should read 165°F or 74°C).
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
