Making Heart-Shaped Chicken Nuggets is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by dicing the chicken breast into small pieces.
2. Make the Mixture: In a bowl, combine the diced chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Shape the Nuggets: Using your hands, form small heart shapes from the chicken mixture. Aim for consistent sizes for even cooking.
4. Set Up Breading Stations: In one bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
5. Bread the Nuggets: Dip each heart-shaped nugget first in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure an even coating.
6. Heat Oil: In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. You’ll want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
7. Fry the Nuggets: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded nuggets to the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
9. Serve Warm: Enjoy these delicious heart-shaped nuggets while they’re hot!

By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible dish that will impress everyone at the table.
