1 Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
2 Cut [wprm-ingredient text="1 ½ lb. chicken breasts" uid="1"] into bite-sized pieces. Place in a bowl.
3 Season the chicken with [wprm-ingredient text="1 teaspoon kosher salt" uid="3"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper" uid="4"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon garlic powder" uid="5"], [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon onion powder" uid="6"] and [wprm-ingredient text="¼ teaspoon sweet paprika" uid="7"]. Toss until coated.
4 Break [wprm-ingredient text="1 egg" uid="2"] into a bowl and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Measure [wprm-ingredient text="1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs" uid="8"] into another bowl.
5 Dip the seasoned chicken into the egg wash mixture, then transfer to the panko, moving around until coated in the breadcrumbs.
6 Place on a prepared sheet pan, and repeat until all the chicken nuggets are coated.
7 Spritz the chicken nuggets with the [wprm-ingredient text="Avocado oil spray" uid="9"]. This will help them crisp up.
8 Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
9 Remove from oven, and let cool slightly before serving.
