Baked Chicken Nuggets



I wanted to create a healthy baked chicken nugget to accompany the deep fried homemade fries Scott made, so here is what I created. These turned out really good!

Ingredients:
  • 2 - Chicken breasts, cut into bite sized chunks
  • Panko crumbs, about 1 1/2 cups
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Flour to dredge chicken
  • 1 egg
  • PAM baking/cooking spray
Directions:
  1. Combine all dry ingredients in medium bowl: panko crumbs, salt, thyme, basil, oregano, and pepper.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  3. In a small bowl, combine one beaten egg with about 2 tablespoons water.
  4. Place chicken chunks and a handful of flour into a large ziplock bag, seal, and shake. Make sure each piece of chicken is thoroughly covered with flour.
  5. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg wash, then dip into panko crumb mixture. Place each piece onto a cookie sheet. Once all have been dip and coated, spray the nuggets with PAM baking/cooking spray prior to baking.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes.
