We LOVE chicken nuggets. Just about anywhere we go out to eat, Jim orders chicken nuggets if possible. However, they are expensive at the grocery store and I was sure I could find a better way to make them. I have tried three nugget recipes over the past three weeks and this one is the winner! I like that they are baked and not fried. The crust was still crunchy. The Italian bread crumbs add some flavor. And they make a great finger food for kids too!
Healthy Baked Chicken Nuggets
Ingredients:
16 oz (2 large) skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into even bit sized pieces
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp olive oil
6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 tbsp panko
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
olive oil spray
Directions: Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray. Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken. Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then bake 8 - 10 minutes. Turnover then cook another 4 - 5 minutes or until cooked though.
