Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cook chicken breast just until done. You can boil, bake or cook in the instant pot. Make sure you don't overcook or your nuggets will be dry.
  • In a food processor or blender, pulse together cooked chicken breast, eggs, salt, garlic powder and onion powder.
  • To make shapes, press the chicken mixture into cookie cutters. Then press into your bread crumbs.  If you don't want to make shapes, roll a small ball of chicken mixture into a ball, and slightly press until flat and shaped like a chicken nugget. Then press into breadcrumbs.
  • Place nuggets onto a cookie sheet.  Drizzle with melted butter to make them crispier.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes.  Flip halfway through to get both sides crispy.
  • Serve with your favorite dip like honey mustard, ketchup, spicy mustard, BBQ sauce, or ranch. Enjoy!
