Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into nugget-sized pieces
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Dip each chicken nugget first in flour, then in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Arrange the breaded nuggets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add lemon juice, chicken broth, and capers. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve the chicken nuggets drizzled with the lemony piccata sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Prep the breading station while the oven heats to save time. Store cooked nuggets in an airtight container for 1 to 3 days and reheat in the oven to revive crispness.
