Thought this would be for my kids but my hubby downed them first lol
Directions
1. Begin by seasoning your chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. This will lay the foundation for flavorful nuggets that’ll remind you of Sunday dinners at Grandma’s.
2. Place the flour in one shallow dish, the beaten eggs in another, and mix the bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese in a third. This is your breading station that’ll give those nuggets their golden coat.
3. Dip each chicken piece first in the flour, then the egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Take your time and make sure each piece is lovingly coated.
4. Generously coat the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Then, layer the nuggets inside. Space them out as best you can.
5. Cover and cook on high for about 2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is slightly crispy. Remember, slow cookers vary like the Midwest weather, so check in on these nuggets to make sure they’re just right.
6. Once done, transfer those golden beauties to a serving platter and watch ’em disappear quicker than fireflies at dusk.
Variations & Tips
– For a gluten-free twist, substitute the all-purpose flour with almond or coconut flour and use crispy rice crumbs instead of bread crumbs.
– To work in some extra flavor, add a teaspoon of paprika or dried thyme to the breadcrumb mix.
– If you prefer a crunchier nugget, you could quickly brown them in a skillet before placing them in the slow cooker.
– Remember, these nuggets hold the warmth of home best when shared. Serve them up for the little ones after a day of play, or even at your next potluck. They’re sure to conjure up stories, laughter, and a deep sense of togetherness.
