Baked chicken nuggets are incredibly simple to make and healthier than deep fried nuggets. As with many of our recipes, these nuggets make a great midweek meal because they are so easy to make. They are great served up with some homemade fries and coleslaw.
There are a few cooking tips to these baked nuggets. I simply cut my chicken breasts in strips, but if you get fairly large breast, you might want to cut the strips in half. I use two types of bread crumbs for texture, you could get away with just one, however. The recipe uses some very basic seasoning, you can add the seasoning of your choice. When I serve my nuggets up, I make a garlic, lemon, and mayo dip. Hot chili sauce or ketchup could be used, however.

- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, granulated garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl. Mix until everything is well combined. Set it aside.
- Coat a baking tray with some baking spray.
- Cut you chicken breast into strips about 1/2 an inch thick. Place the strips in the bread crumb mixture and dredge them until they’re well coated. Set them on the baking tray and coat them with some baking spray. You will probably have to bake them in two batches.
- Put the chicken nuggets in the oven and bake them for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn them over and bake them for an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
- Serve them up with your favorite condiment and enjoy your baked chicken nuggets.
