1 pound (455 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1½-inch cubes

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C, gas mark 4). Brush a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons (28 g) of the melted ghee.

Prepare the Coating: Spread the crushed chips in a shallow dish. Beat the egg together with the Oat milk in a medium bowl.

Bake the Nuggets: When all the pieces are coated, drizzle the remaining ghee over the tops and lightly season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown.
