It's time to share another Pinch of Nom recipe, this popcorn chicken recipe can be found in the Everyday Light in the Fakeaways chapter.

Let's get cooking!

Ingredients:

120g wholemeal bread

1/2 tsp garlic granules

1/4 tsp chilli powder

1/2 tsp sea salt

300g chicken breast

1 egg

cooking spray

Start off by preheating your oven to 170C/150C Fan/Gas Mark 3. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.

In an electric chopper or food processor, blitz the wholemeal bread into fine bread crumbs.

Place them into a shallow dish with the garlic granules, chilli powder and salt and mix together well.

Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Beat the egg in a bowl and add the diced chicken, stirring to ensure the chicken is coated in egg.

Put the chicken into the breadcrumbs a few pieces at a time. Shake the chicken around the in breadcrumbs to coat and place each piece onto the baking tray.

Spray the chicken with cooking spray and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and the chicken pieces are cooked through.

Now your ready to serve.

This would be perfect as a fakeaway to fast food restaurants like KFC. You can serve it with chips, but I thought we'd have it a s a lighter meal and I served it with corn on the cob's. I only coated the chicken once by mistake, but they still came out perfect. I loved the flavours and the chicken was still juicy.

I used a mild chilli powder for the breadcrumbs and also served mine with a Kimchi dipping sauce, which worked perfectly.

I'll definitely make these again, I thought they were so much better than the processed nuggets and popcorn chicken that you can get from the freezer aisle.

If you're interested in any of Pinch of Nom's recipe's then you can buy the recipe books in all major supermarkets as well as online retailers Waterstones and Amazon.

See you soon!
