Ingredients
- I took 1 pound of chicken tenders and got to work!
- Here is what else you'll need:
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup or so of flour
- 1 cup or so bread crumbs- I had a box of panko on hand, and I do say they make good breadcrumbs. Normally I just make my own from the butts of the bread.
- favorite seasonings- I kept it simple with some salt and pepper
Directions
-
First take a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Then place each flour, bread crumbs and seasonings, and beaten eggs in separate bowls.
-
Now it’s time to get messy. First take your chicken breast and cut it to desired size. If you truly want nuggets, just cut the chicken smaller. You may need more breadcrumbs since there will be more to coat so keep the box handy.
-
Dip the chicken in flour.
-
Then dip it in the egg wash.
-
And roll it in the bread crumbs.
-
Place the coated chicken on your baking sheet. I baked mine at 350* for 25 minutes since I had bigger chicken tenders. Cook them until the insides are white and no juice runs out. I did flip mine at the half way point as well.

And there you have it, homemade chicken nuggets. The kids LOVED them. Miss Bacon exclaimed “Mom, it’s just BIG chicken!” and she ate almost 2 of them. Even Bacon big had his share of chicken nuggets that night. We paired these with some fries and fresh fruit. It was an easy dinner for us. These can also be frozen and heated in the microwave for quick lunches. I did that with the leftovers and Bacon Bit has been one happy camper!
