Yield: 6
Author: Hannah Thompson, RDN, LD, CPT
Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 10 MinTotal time: 20 Min

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into nuggets (roughly 1 inch cubes)
  • 2 cups bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp dried parsely
  • 2 eggs, whisked until combined
  • dipping sauce(s) of choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 375F. If your air fryer does not have a preheat setting, allow it to heat up for about 3 minutes.
  2. Using one hand, place a chicken cube in the whisked up eggs. Then place the chicken in the bread crumbs.
  3. Using the other hand, coat the chicken in bread crumbs.
  4. Set aside and repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  5. Place chicken in the air fryer and cook for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure that the chicken is at 165F.
  6. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce(s).

Notes

  • Instead of bread crumbs, you can use any type of cracker or chip that is ground up using a food processor.
  • My favorite dipping sauces include ketchup, honey mustard, bleu cheese dressing, and ranch dressing.
