Healthy Baked Chicken Nuggets

I'm officially addicted to SkinnyTaste.com. I've tried a number of recipes from her site now and every single one of them has not only been low calories, but delicious.  This one is no exception.

I like chicken nuggets.  I hate them from fast food places, but the idea of small, bite size chicken, breaded in goodness just makes my heart flutter.

These were tasty, lo-cal, and super easy to make.

Healthy Baked Chicken Nuggets
Recipe from SkinnyTaste.com

• 16 oz (2 large) skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into even bit sized pieces
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 6 T whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 2 T panko
• 2 T grated parmesan cheese
• olive oil spray

Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.

Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken.

Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then bake 8 - 10 minutes. Turn over then cook another 4 - 5 minutes or until cooked though.
