Baked Chicken Nuggets

These aren’t your ordinary fast food chicken nuggets. Coated in a flavorful blend of cheese and seasonings, they’re easy enough to make so you won’t need the unhealthy and bland fast food variety.

Ingredients:

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. Cut chicken breasts into 1 1/2 inch size pieces.

3. In a medium bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, cheese, salt, thyme and basil. Mix well.

4. Put melted butter/margarine in a bowl or dish for dipping.

5. Dip chicken pieces into the melted butter/margarine first, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

6. Place well coated chicken pieces on a lightly greased cookie sheet in a single layer, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
