Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless and skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Oil for frying

Directions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized nuggets.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix together bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Dip each chicken nugget into the beaten eggs, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the chicken.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the nuggets in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Remove the chicken nuggets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
  6. Serve the herbed chicken nuggets hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
