Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
  • Cut the chicken breast into medium-sized pieces.
  • Next, take two bowls. Beat the eggs in one bowl. Add the panko breadcrumbs, paprika powder, thyme, rosemary and salt to the other bowl.
  • Dip one chicken piece into the egg mixture. Then, put the chicken piece in the breadcrumb bowl to coat it evenly. Place it on a baking sheet. Repeat for all remaining chicken pieces.
  • Spray the chicken nuggets with the olive oil spray until they are coated evenly from all sides.
  • Bake for approx. 15 minutes in the oven. If you decided to make larger pieces, increase the time for a few minute. Check if the chicken is cooked through and enjoy!
