Baked Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients


3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs (We used plain)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme (We omit this)
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 cup butter, melted
*We add some chopped garlic to the butter
*We also add some cayenne pepper to the bread crumb mix

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Cut chicken breasts into 1 1/2-inch sized pieces. In a medium bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, cheese, salt, thyme and basil. Mix well. Put melted butter in a bowl or dish for dipping.

Dip chicken pieces into the melted butter first, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the well-coated chicken pieces on a lightly greased cookie sheet in a single layer, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.


 
This is another one of my go-to meals.  It's easy and we generally have all of the ingredients laying around.  They're good dipped in whatever your favorite dipping sauce is (ranch, ketchup, BBQ sauce, etc.)  After having these, I can't go back to the frozen option - they just taste so processed compared to this recipe.

Try them out and let us know what you think!
