Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Dill pickle juice
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together dill pickle juice, coconut aminos, and the egg to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the chicken pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours for stronger flavor.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Drain and discard the marinade.
Step 6
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken pieces, ensuring every piece is well-seasoned.
Step 7
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook in batches.
Step 9
Cook the chicken nuggets for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
Step 10
Remove the nuggets from the pan and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
