Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a shallow dish, mix 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Place 2 beaten large eggs in a second bowl. In a third bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Step 3: Dip each 1-inch piece of 1 pound chicken breast first into the seasoned flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 15-18 minutes, turning halfway through, until nuggets are golden and cooked through.
  6. Step 6: While baking, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons honey in a small bowl to make the honey mustard dip.
  7. Step 7: Serve the warm chicken nuggets with the honey mustard sauce for dipping.
