Chicken Nuggets
Adapted From: Momma K
Ingredients
2-3 pound Chicken (breast meat)
1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (I like Italian)
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated)
1 tsp Oregano
1/8 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Salt
2 Egg
3/4 cup Vegetable Oil
1 cup White Wine (optional)
Directions
Cut raw chicken into nuggets; Pat dry.
Combine breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, oregano, pepper and salt; Set aside.
Beat eggs in a shallow dish.
Dip chicken into egg, then breadcrumb mixture, coating the entire nugget.
Heat oil in a large fry pan (medium-high heat).
SautÈ chicken nuggets until golden brown, about 3 minutes a side. Remove to a warm platter.
Serve with sweet and sour sauce, barbeque sauce, honey mustard or ranch dressing.
Optional Sauce:
When all nuggets have been cooked, remove remaining oil from fry pan.
Stir in white wine scrapping up brown residue.
Boil to slightly reduce.
Pour sauce over nuggets.
Katie Dishes - Two Thumbs Up!
Delicious recipe. Adds a note of elegance to the typical chicken nugget. Fun for kids and adults alike!
I have made this with both freshly shredded and processed powder Parmesan cheese. Both are equally good. Of course, if I have it in the house, I prefer the real stuff.
I have never tried the optional white wine reduction. But I'd be excited to hear what people think of it...
