Recipe and source notes

Chicken Nuggets

6 servings Source yield

Ingredients

  • 3 pieces chicken breast, boneless & skinless
  • 1 cup Panko or cornflake crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup milk + 1 capful vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil, crushed

Make it step by step

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Cut chicken breasts into 1 1/2 inch size pieces. In a medium bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, cheese, salt, thyme and basil. Mix well. Put milk in a bowl or dish for dipping.
  3. Dip chicken pieces into the milk first, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place well coated chicken pieces on a wire rack (like the kind you cool cookies on). This allows the bottom of the chicken crisp up as well.
  4. Spritz with a light spray of oil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 - 20 minutes. Flip nuggets 3/4 of the way for even browning
