Chicken nuggets in a pan are a simple yet incredibly delicious dish inspired by traditional European cuisine. Their tender and juicy flavor captivates from the first bite, while the crispy golden crust makes them even more appetizing. The history of nuggets dates back to the 20th century when the desire for convenience led to the creation of a quick and tasty chicken option. In this recipe, juicy chicken fillet is mixed with egg, sour cream, and flour, then shaped into patties and coated in breadcrumbs. Frying in a small amount of oil makes the nuggets less greasy while preserving their rich flavor. They can be served with favorite sauces or fresh vegetables, perfect for family dinners or friendly gatherings.
