Baked Chicken Nuggets
These baked chicken nuggets came from a great recipe
Anytime you bake chicken nuggets instead of frying, you up the health factor, big time. Dip these in barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or the honey-dijon mustard recipe included. YUM! These nuggets really have a kick to them, so you may want to tone down the cayenne if that concerns you. 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 T. olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 tsp. ground pepper 1 cup fine ground bread crumbs -- you can buy ready-made or make from 2 to 3 slices of french bread or whole wheat bread. 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper 2 - 1/2 tsp. honey 2 T. dijon mustard 1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. 2. Cut each chicken breast into 8 pieces. 3. Mix oil, garlic & pepper; place in Ziploc bag; add chicken, seal & rub marinade into chicken. Marinate for 30 minutes. 4. Combine bread crumbs and cayenne; place on plate. 5. Remove chicken pieces from bag one at a time; roll in bread crumbs, and place on large jelly roll pan. 6. Bake for 15 minutes until browned and cooked through -- you can broil for a few minutes for extra browning. 7. Combine honey & dijon mustard. Dip nuggets in honey/dijon, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing. Enjoy! :)
