Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. In a second bowl, beat the eggs.
3. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and dried oregano.
4. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
5. Dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
6. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
7. In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
8. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken nuggets in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
9. Remove the nuggets and drain on paper towels before serving.
