  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Cooking spray
  • Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch each.
  • Set up Breading Stations: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Bread the Chicken: Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Arrange in Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the breaded chicken nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd. You may need to cook them in batches.
  • Air Fry: Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the air fryer chicken nuggets are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve: Remove the nuggets from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
