If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry, and on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Follow same instructions as diced chicken.
-
1 Prepare the Ingredients
Cut potatoes into 1/4"-thick fries. Pat dry.
Trim and thinly slice green onions. -
2 Roast the Fries
Place potatoes on prepared baking sheet and add 2 tsp. olive oil and ranch seasoning. Massage oil and seasoning into potatoes. Spread into a single layer.
Roast in hot oven until golden-brown and tender, 28-30 minutes, tossing once halfway through.While fries roast, continue recipe. -
3 Prepare the Chicken Nuggets
Pat chicken dry and season with a pinch of pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine tempura mix and 2 Tbsp. water until a thin batter forms. If too thick, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until a pancake batter consistency is reached. Add chicken and gently toss to coat.Place panko on a plate in an even layer. Working in batches, place chicken on plate with panko, pressing gently to adhere on all sides. Rest, 3 minutes.Repeat with remaining pieces. -
4 Cook the Chicken Nuggets
Line a plate with a paper towel. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add canola oil. Let oil heat, 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, test oil temperature by adding a pinch of tempura batter to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.Working in batches, carefully add chicken to hot pan. Cook until golden brown all over and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 1-3 minutes per side.Remove from burner. Transfer chicken nuggets to towel-lined plate. -
5 Finish the Dish
