Yield Makes 24 nuggets

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound chicken breasts, boneless & skinless cut into chunks
1/4 cup old fashioned oats (also known as 5 minute oats)
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • Place the first 6 ingredients in a food processor until chicken is finely chopped and ingredients are combined.
  • Place the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in a shallow bowl or on a plate and stir to combine.
  • With moistened hands, roll 1 tablespoon of chicken mixture between your palms and flatten it into a "nugget" shape.
  • Gently press nuggets into bread crumbs to evenly coat them.
  • Place nuggets on a cooling rack. Place cooling rack over a foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Lightly spray nuggets with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 15 minutes and serve.
  • To freeze, place nuggets on a sheet tray after this step and freeze for one hour. Place nuggets in labeled freezer bags for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, follow the directions starting with step #6.
  • ** If you want your nuggets to be golden brown, place under the broiler for 2 minutes after cooking.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a sharp knife to cut the cheese into even cubes.
  • If you don't have breadcrumbs, you can use crushed crackers or pretzels.
  • You can add your favorite seasonings to the breadcrumbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • If you want crispy cheese nuggets, make sure to coat them evenly in the egg wash and breadcrumbs.
