Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Place the panko crumbs onto a baking tray, spray with cooking oil and bake for approximately 5-10 minutes or until lightly golden (you'll need to give the tray a shake every few minutes).
Set panko crumbs aside in a bowl.
Increase oven temperature to 200 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
Place the parmesan cheese into the Thermomix bowl. Grate for 8 seconds, Speed 8.
Pour the parmesan cheese into the bowl with the panko crumbs, mix to combine and then set aside.
Place the plain flour into a bowl.
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and beat well.
Set the bowls aside with the panko crumb bowl.
Chop the chicken breasts roughly, and then place them into the Thermomix bowl.
Mix for 10 seconds, Speed 8 or until the chicken is completely minced.
Shape the chicken mince into nuggets (about 1 tablespoon in size).
One at a time, coat the chicken nuggets in the plain flour (shake off any excess), then the egg mixture, and finally the panko crumb mixture.
Place crumbed nuggets onto the baking tray.
Spray lightly with cooking spray and bake for approximately 12-14 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time.

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

you can use store-bought chicken mince rather than mincing your own chicken
you can substitute the chicken breasts with thighs if you prefer
shaping the chicken into a traditional 'nugget shape' is always popular with the kids

you can cook the nuggets in the oven or the air-fryer (if using an air fryer, cook at 180 degrees celsius for 12-14 minutes or until piping hot and cooked through).
