Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh chicken breast, eggs, and staples like breadcrumbs and bouillon at local food stores or island grocery markets. For the best results, use fine breadcrumbs or Panko for extra crunch.
Preparation method

- Place the pot over heat until the water reaches a boil.
- Cut the chicken breast into your preferred nugget-sized cubes.
- Add the chicken cubes to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot, drain thoroughly, and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- While the chicken cools, whisk the eggs in a bowl with oregano and salt.
- Dip each piece of cooked chicken into the beaten egg mixture.
- Coat the chicken evenly on all sides with the breadcrumbs.
- Heat enough oil to cover the nuggets in a deep pan or pot over high heat.
- Fry the breaded nuggets for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried nuggets from the oil and drain any excess on paper towels.
