Ingredients:

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Cooking oil spray, as needed

Instructions:

  1. Toss the diced chicken breast in a bowl with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Add the chicken broth to the Instant Pot inner pot, then add the seasoned chicken. Lock the lid and set to Pressure Cook (High) for 3 minutes. Perform a quick release.
  3. Set up a dredging station with three bowls: Bowl 1 (flour, cornstarch, paprika), Bowl 2 (beaten eggs), and Bowl 3 (Panko). Dredge each piece of steamed chicken in flour, dip in egg, and press firmly into the Panko.
  4. Arrange nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket and spray lightly with oil. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
