Preheat your oven to 200°F (90°C) to keep the nuggets warm after frying, if desired.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch in size.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In another bowl, beat the egg until well combined.
In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
Take each chicken piece, coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dunk the floured chicken piece into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
Finally, roll the chicken in the breadcrumbs until fully coated. Set aside on a plate.
In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the breaded chicken nuggets into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the nuggets and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
If desired, keep the cooked nuggets warm in the preheated oven while frying the remaining batches.
Serve the nuggets hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
