Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded or diced cooked chicken
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) while you prep the nuggets.
  • In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Using your hands, form the mixture into small nugget shapes or balls.
  • Place the nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, until they are golden brown and heated through.
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving. My son recommends them be served with ketchup!
