Superfood Seasoning's "The Good Grind", ( optional_you can use salt & pepper and any spices you prefer)
Coconut Oil Spray, (canola works too)
Coconut Oil, (for flash frying)
Sil Pat or Parchment Paper
Cookie Cutters, (I used summer time shapes like sunnies and ice cream cones).
DIRECTIONS:
Start by pre-heating your oven to 400 degrees.
Next line a sheet pan with a sil pat or parchment paper.
Place the two chicken breast cutlets onto the lined sheet tray and spray both sides with coconut oil.
Now, season with "The Good Grind" (or with a pinch of salt and pepper) on both sides.
Next, place the sheet pan into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked.
Once cooked, place the cutlets onto a cooling rack, let cool down before cutting out the shapes.
Once fully cooled, start cutting out your shapes (Depending on how big or small your shapes are, your amount of nuggets may vary).
Dice up the leftover pieces into cubes.
To bread the chicken you will need to begin by make an egg wash. In a medium sized bowl crack in 2 full eggs + 1 yolk, season with "The Good Grind" or salt and pepper, and whisk to combine.
Next, place all of the panko crumbs in a 1/2 sheet pan.
Now, take the cut out nuggets and bread them by first coating them with the egg wash, then tossing them in the panko crumbs to coat.
To fry, heat up the coconut oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. You will know it's ready when you place a small piece in and it floats.
Flash fry 2-3 big pieces at a time just until they catch some color, about 5-10 seconds.
Then, when you have finished with the larger nuggets, toss in 6-8 (at a time) of the cubed bites and fry util they turn golden as well.
Have a plate lined with a kitchen towel to place the finished chicken on (this helps to remove excess oil).
Serve with a side of your littles favorite dipping sauce and some slices of celery for a refreshing bite!
