One of my favourite choices at fast food restaurants is chicken nuggets! They are a tasty, easy-to-eat finger food. What with this summer’s soaring prices, I took it upon myself to test out some recipes to make my own. While not quite as yummy as deep fried, this baked alternative proves to be bit a healthier (and cheaper!). Enjoy!

Prep: 10 minutes
Bake: 15-20 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons dried basil
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings.
3. Place butter in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken in butter then roll in bread crumb mixture.
4. Place in a greased 15×10 baking pan. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until juices run clear (internal temperature should be around 160 degrees).
