Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs (you can also use breasts, but we have found that the thighs make for a juicier and more flavorful nugget)
  • 2 large eggs, well beaten
  • About 1/2 cup oil of your choice — we most often use coconut oil, olive oil, or a blend of the two for these
  • 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs (you can also use regular whole-wheat breadcrumbs), OR 3/4 cup each finely ground puffed brown rice cereal and unsalted popcorn for a gluten-free nugget
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 tsp. dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
