Chicken Nugget Meal with Fries Recipe

American · Main course · 40 min total

Crispy homemade chicken nuggets paired with golden fries, a classic family-friendly meal that's easy to make from scratch.

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 4 large potatoes, cut into fries
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt for fries
• Cooking spray or oil for baking

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Toss potato fries with olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt. Spread in a single layer on one baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
3. Meanwhile, set up a breading station: In a shallow bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, place beaten eggs. In a third bowl, combine panko and Parmesan.
4. Dredge each chicken piece in flour mixture, then dip in egg, then coat with panko mixture. Place on the second baking sheet.
5. Spray nuggets lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
6. Serve nuggets with fries and your favorite dipping sauces.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, use a wire rack on the baking sheet for the nuggets.
• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in oven or air fryer.
• Try different dipping sauces like ketchup, honey mustard, or ranch.
