Air Fried Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients:

• 1 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1” pieces

• 2 eggs, whisked

• 1/2 C breadcrumbs

• 1/2 C grated parmesan

• 2 tsp oregano

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• 1/2 tsp salt

• pepper to taste

• your favorite dipping sauce*

Directions:

1. in a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, parmesan and seasonings.

2. begin by coating the chicken pieces in egg, letting excess drip off, then coating in the breadcrumb mixture. Set aside on a plate and continue coating the chicken until all pieces are coated.

3. spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray and place half of the coated chicken in the basket, making sure that they are evenly spaced. Lightly spray the chicken.

4. Fry at 400 for 5 minutes, shake, spray again, and fry for another 5 minutes.

5. Remove chicken from the air fryer and repeat step 3 and 4 with remaining chicken.

*dipping sauce: I used equal parts mayo, mustard and ketchup, but feel free to use whatever dip your heart desires!
