Easy 25-Minute Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets

Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into even 1-inch bite sized pieces, from 2 large breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons panko
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • olive oil spray

Instructions

Here are the simple steps to make these delicious nuggets.

 

1. Get Ready: First, you’ll need two bowls. Pour the 2 teaspoons of olive oil into one bowl. In the second bowl, mix together the whole wheat breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese.

2. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Then, put the seasoned chicken into the bowl with the olive oil. Mix it all together so every piece of chicken is lightly coated in oil.

3. Bread the Chicken: Take a few pieces of chicken at a time and drop them into the breadcrumb mixture. Toss them around until they are completely covered on all sides.

4. Air Fry: Place the breaded chicken pieces in your air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the basket! Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with olive oil spray. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 9 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the cooking time. They’re done when they are golden brown and cooked through.
