Ingredients
1 1⁄2 cup Panko
1 1⁄2 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1 teaspoon Paprika
1⁄2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1⁄4 teaspoon Cayenne
1 whole Egg
1 tablespoon Milk
1 pound Chicken Breasts (cut into 1" cubes)

Directions
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  1. Combine the panko and oil in a frying pan and toast over medium heat until golden brown. Transfer panko into a shallow dish and allow to cool.
  2. To the breadcrumbs add salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Set aside. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a metal rack. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  4. Dip each chicken cube into the egg mixture, then use a tong to grab each chicken nugget and toss into the breadcrumb mixture to completely coat with breadcrumbs. Use tongs to transfer to the wire rack, placing about 1 inch apart.
  5. Generously spray the tops of the chicken nuggets with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and temp reaches 165 degrees F with a meat thermometer.
