Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter

2. Mix the flour with the salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
3. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess, and place each piece in the skillet.
4. Cook the nuggets for about 4 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches 165°F.
