Description

These chicken nuggets are far better than their Mc__ competitor. The recipe can be doubled and frozen for a quick and easy dinner. My kids love to help assemble these, too.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 cup Dry Bread Crumbs
  • ½ cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • ½ cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ cups Butter, Melted

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Prepare chicken breasts by cutting into 1-1 1/2 inch pieces or to your liking. Remove any fat from chicken and pat chicken dry with paper towel. Set aside.

In a bowl, mix together all ingredients, except butter, until well combined.

Put melted butter in a separate dish (preferably shallow for dipping).

Make an assembly line and begin by dipping chicken in the melted butter, then coating in bread crumb mixture.

Transfer chicken to a lightly-greased wire rack. Continue with all chicken and sprinkle any remaining bread crumb mixture on prepared chicken pieces.

Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked throughout.

Note: The wire rack helps cook the bread crumb mixture all around the chicken to a nice crisp, keeping it from getting soggy. If a wire rack is not available, a cookie sheet can be used, turning the chicken half-way through cooking time.
