Homemade chicken nuggets are a smart answer when you want something children recognise, but still want to cook from scratch. They come out crisp on the outside, juicy inside and pair beautifully with a simple salad, mash or oven chips.

Serves: 4 people

Preparation time: 30 min

Ingredients

• Chicken breast – 600 g
• Plain flour – 75 g
• Eggs – 2, beaten
• Breadcrumbs – 150 g
• Paprika – 1 tsp
• Garlic powder – 1 tsp
• Salt – to taste
• Black pepper – to taste
• Oil – for brushing

Method

step 1
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and gently flatten the thicker pieces so everything cooks evenly.
step 2
Season the flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Put the beaten eggs in a second bowl and the breadcrumbs in a third.
step 3
Coat the chicken first in the flour, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly so the crumbs stick well.
step 4
Arrange the nuggets on a lightly oiled baking tray and brush or spray them with a little oil for a better golden crust.
step 5
Bake until crisp and cooked through, turning once halfway if needed so they colour evenly on both sides.
step 6
Serve straight away while the coating is still crunchy. A simple yogurt dip or ketchup works well alongside them.
