Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 large Medium eggs
• 3 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1 inch in size, and set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, place the gluten-free all-purpose flour.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined.

Step 5

Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Dip the floured chicken pieces into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 7

Press the chicken pieces into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated with the crumb mixture.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 9

Add the chicken nuggets to the skillet in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the chicken nuggets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
