Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Dill pickle juice
- 0.25 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 large Egg white
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a bowl and add the dill pickle juice. Cover the bowl and marinate the chicken in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for a stronger flavor.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk and the egg white.
Step 4
Drain the pickle juice from the chicken and pat the pieces dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Dip each piece of chicken into the milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 7
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help achieve a crispy texture.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the exterior is golden brown.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce. Enjoy your homemade, low-fat Chick-fil-A style nuggets!
