Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a shallow bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in a second shallow bowl and beat 2 large eggs in a third bowl.
  3. Step 3: Dredge 1 lb chicken breast pieces first in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through baking.
  6. Step 6: While the nuggets bake, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 2 tbsp mayonnaise in a small bowl to create the honey mustard dip.
  7. Step 7: Serve the baked chicken nuggets warm with the honey mustard dip on the side.
