Chicken Parmesan Nuggets - 6sp per serving

Combining two of my favorites to make these delicious little bites! 

Ingredients

• 2 thin sliced chicken breasts, fat trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs (whole wheat or regular)
• 2 tbsp Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• Olive oil spray
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (for easier cleanup). Spray baking sheet lightly with olive oil spray.
• Prepare breadcrumb mixture by stirring together both breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper (to taste).
• Rinse and dry chicken breasts. Cut into 1-inch cubes. Arrange chicken on a plate or other surface and spray with olive oil spray. Flip each nugget over and spray again.
• Dredge each cube in the bread crumb mixture and be sure to fully coat all sides. Place each nugget on the baking sheet and repeat with remaining chicken.
• Once all nuggets are on the baking sheet, lightly spray each one with olive oil spray (this helps with crispiness and browning).
• Bake for 15 minutes. Turn nuggets over and spray the second side with additional olive oil spray. Bake for another 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Makes 2 servings. 6sp per serving.

Serve with 1/4 cup of marinara sauce for dipping for an additional 1sp!
