Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients  

  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup panko crumbs, white or wheat
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
  • cooking oil spray

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
  • Beat the egg in a shallow bowl.
  • Place the panko, garlic powder, herbs and salt in a separate shallow bowl and stir to combine. 
  • Dip the chicken chunks in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs. Keep one hand clean for rolling in the breadcrumbs. Make sure the chicken chunks are completely covered.
  • Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Spray each piece with oil.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes.
  • To Freeze: For best results, bread nuggets, place on a cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, place par-frozen nuggets in a ziploc bag and freeze up to 4 months. When ready, continue from step 5 adding at least 5 minutes cooking time.
