I honestly would make these Chicken Nuggets weekly!
They are pretty much the only meat Beau will eat so I cook a up double batch, half for our dinner with veges or in wraps or burgers and the other half I freeze for Beau’s daily dinners!
This is a super easy family dinner to create, I love how versatile it is and I guarantee the kids will love it!
Don’t forget to pin the first image to Pinterest to keep for future reference!
HOMEMADE CHICKEN NUGGETS
These homemade Chicken Nuggets are a firm family favourite! I generally cook a bulk lot for a meal of burgers, wraps or have them alone with veggies! Then I pop any extras in the freezer for Beau's dinners!
Ingredients
- 2 large Chicken breasts around 600-700g
- 2 cups homemade breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
- 1 bunch parsley finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon of Pepper & Me Man Rub optional you can also use 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/3 cup plain flour
- Canola oil for frying
Instructions
-
Prepare two bowls: one for the eggs and one for the flour. Put the flour in one bowl and in the other bowl beat the eggs with a fork and pop aside (these are used for dipping the chicken).
-
In a large open container or dish with sides: mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan, parsley and man rub together.
-
Slice the chicken into 1cm thick slices and put aside on a plate.
-
Heat up a fry pan with a good covering of canola oil, while you prep your first lot of chicken (you can alternatively bake these in the oven).
-
To prepare your chicken: Using tongs, grab one piece of chicken at a time and dip into the flour bowl and coat, then pop into the egg wash then dip into the bread crumbs and coat. Continue until you have a plates worth of nuggets ready to cook.
-
Fry chicken nuggets on medium heat until golden on the underside then turn until cooked through. Remove the chicken nugget from the pan and rest on a paper towel lined plate.
-
While the chicken nuggets are cooking, prepare the next lot and continue until they are all cooked through.
Recipe Notes
TO MAKE HOMEMADE BREAD CRUMBS: Save up any crusts or odd stale (but not mouldy) pieces of bread and store in a large glad bag in the freezer. Once the bag is full I pull it out of the freezer and it let it defrost on the bench in the bag. Once defrosted I process up slices of bread in a food processor until bread crumbs form. Spray a large oven dish with cooking spray then fill with the breadcrumbs and sprinkle with olive oil and bake until golden, stirring occasionally. Store in a large glass jar!
