Baked Chicken Nuggets

I adapted this recipe from skinnytaste.com; it's healthy and really easy to make. I served it with some veggies and potatoes, but they're just plain old chicken nuggets, so you can serve 'em with whatever you want. Try them with ranch dip, barbecue sauce, or ketchup.


Baked Chicken Nuggets

olive oil spray (which I don't have, so I just rubbed olive oil all over the baking sheet)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp olive oil
6 tbsp whole wheat breadcrumbs
2 tbsp panko
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
~1 tsp dried oregano
~1 tsp dried thyme
~1 tsp dried marjoram
~1 tsp dried basil
cajun spices

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray baking sheet with olive oil spray.
2. Put chicken pieces in bowl and season well with salt and pepper; toss to mix.
3. Drizzle olive oil over seasoned chicken and mix well to cover.
4. Put breadcrumbs, panko, cheese, and spices (I used oregano, thyme, marjoram, basil, and cajun, but feel free to use whatever spices you like best) into another bowl.
5. Toss each piece of chicken in breadcrumb mixture to coat, then lay on baking sheet.
6. Lightly spray top with olive oil (I skipped this because I don't have an olive oil sprayer) and bake for 8-10 minutes.
7. Turn chicken pieces over and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

Enjoy!
