Golden Chicken Nuggets
This one can be either an appetizer or the main dish. My kids loved this. I substituted the parmesan with the fake parmesan you buy at the store. If you do this add a little less. It was a bit salty. Tip for cooking things with breading: Allow time for the breading to look like it blended into the meat. This will make it crunchier and you will not lose as much breading. Tip for measurements: If recipe calls for measurement of #teaspoon chopped something, you should chop then measure. If calls for measurement of #teaspoon something, chopped measure first then chop.
- Ingredients
- ½ cup fine dry Bread Crumbs(plain)

- ¼ teaspoon chopped fresh Parsley
- 4 boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
