– 1 tsp onion powder

Instructions
Creating Passover Chicken Nuggets is an easy and engaging process. Follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prep Chicken: Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
2. Make Breading Mixture: In a bowl, combine matzo meal (or breadcrumbs), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, add enough oil to cover the bottom. Heat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
5. Bread Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Then, transfer the chicken to the breading mixture, ensuring a complete coating. Repeat this step for all chicken pieces.
6. Fry Chicken: Place the breaded chicken nuggets in the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Drain: Once cooked, remove the nuggets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
8. Repeat: Continue the process until all chicken pieces are cooked.
9. Keep Warm: If necessary, you can keep the cooked nuggets warm in a preheated oven at 200°F (90°C) until serving.
By following these steps, you’ll create deliciously crunchy Passover Chicken Nuggets that are perfect for any occasion.
