INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 cups bite-size corn square cereal (such as Corn Chex®)
    • ⅓ cup rice flour

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥚 2 eggs
    • ¼ cup oil for frying, or as needed

  • Protein

    • 🍗 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces

STEPS

1

Blend cereal in a blender or food processor until it has the consistency of bread crumbs; pour into a bowl.

2

Beat eggs in a separate bowl until smooth. Pour rice flour into a third bowl.

3

Dredge chicken pieces in the rice flour, dip in beaten egg, and then press into the cereal to coat. Keep breaded chicken on a large plate until all are finished, but do not stack.

4

Pour enough oil into a large skillet to just cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat.

5

Cook chicken nuggets in hot oil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

💡 For a more grown-up flavor, you can add your favorite seasoning or spices (like paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne) to the cereal mixture.Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).To make it healthier, consider baking the nuggets at 400°F for 15–20 minutes instead of frying.
