• 1 Pound of free range or organic chicken breasts (at least you know that your nuggets are made from “normal chicken”)
• 1 whole egg
• A cup of whole wheat breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup of grated parmesan cheese
• Half a teaspoon of paprika
• Half a teaspoon
• Salt and Pepper
• Cooking Oil (you may use coconut oil, certainly the healthiest and a light savour of …. coconut!)

2. Beat the egg in a shallow bowl

3. in another separate shallow bowl whisk together with a fork the breadcrumbs, cheese, paprika, and garlic powder.

4. Now for the breading. Separate the use of both of your hands. One hand is the wet hand and the other is the dry hand. The wet hand gets the chicken nuggets and puts them in the egg bowl. Your wet hand will pick up the chicken then place it on the bowl with the breadcrumb mixture. Flip it over to make sure that the nuggets are well covered. Then using your dry hand place the coated chicken on a separate plate.

5. Heat the oil in medium sized sauce pan. Just use enough oil that can cover the diameter if the pan. Use medium heat.

6. Cook the nuggets for a couple of minutes per side until they are golden brown. The best way to verify if they are well cooked is to slice these nuggets in the middle.
