Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Season the chicken cubes generously with salt and pepper. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a shallow bowl, combine the dry bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Mix well. (1 minute)

04

Step

In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over low heat for about 1 minute. Add the minced garlic and stir continuously until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic (about 30 seconds). Remove from heat.

05

Step

Drizzle the garlic-infused oil over the seasoned chicken, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. Then, dredge each cube in the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated chicken onto the prepared baking sheet. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. An internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) should be reached. (20 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bread crumb mixture.
Ensure the chicken pieces are uniformly sized to promote even cooking.
Serve immediately for the best crispy texture. Pairs perfectly with your favorite dipping sauce!

    The garlic flavor is perfect, not too overpowering. I added some Italian seasoning to the breadcrumbs for extra flavor.

  • Eduardo Tillman

    My kids devoured these! So much better than store-bought nuggets. Will definitely make again.

  • Emelie Okeefe

    So easy to make! I had all the ingredients on hand. A new family favorite!

  • Shanny Fahey

    Next time I might try adding a little paprika to the breadcrumb mixture for a smokier flavor.

  • Destany Gislason

    I air fried these instead of baking and they came out perfectly crispy!
