Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Baked Chicken Nuggets.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take your chicken breasts and slice them into bite-sized pieces, about 1 1/2 inches each.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, blend together Italian seasoned bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried thyme, and a pinch of salt, ensuring the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, pour in the melted butter, ready for dipping.
Step 5
Now, take each chicken piece, give it a quick dip in the melted butter, and then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until it's fully coated.
Step 6
Lay the breaded chicken nuggets in a single layer on a greased baking sheet, making sure they have a little space to breathe.
Step 7
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let them bake for about 20 minutes, or until they turn a delightful golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 8
Enjoy the aroma as your kitchen fills with the scent of crispy, flavorful chicken nuggets!.
