Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the olive oil.
- Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place the coated chicken nuggets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching.
- Cook the chicken nuggets for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the nuggets from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra crunch, you can spray the nuggets lightly with cooking spray before air frying.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings to suit your taste.
- These nuggets can be frozen after cooking; reheat in the air fryer for crispy results.
