Air Fryer chicken nuggets

Recipe by: Jess Gordon

Easy air fryer chicken nuggets are a go-to lunch for me! I recommend only making as many as you are going to eat in one sitting because they don't reheat well.

Ingredients:

  • 6 oz boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into nugget pieces

  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

  • ¼ tsp paprika

Instructions:

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F

  2. Cut chicken breast into bite-size nugget pieces.

  3. In a bowl, toss chicken with olive oil until lightly coated.

  4. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  5. Coat chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture.

  6. Place nuggets in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

  7. Air fry 9–11 minutes at 400°F, shaking halfway through, until golden and cooked through (165°F internal).
