Homemade chicken nuggets

Homemade chicken nuggets are easy and a whole lot better than the stuff in a frozen bag.

In a bowl or plastic storage bag, mix

1.5 cups bread crumbs.   Homemade is best.
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated fine
3/4 cup nuts chopped fine.....walnuts or pecans work well.**

Melt butter in a small pan or bowl either on the stove or in the microwave.

Cut boneless, skinless chicken breast into 1-1/2 inch pieces

Dip chicken in butter, then the crumb mixture.   Place on baking rack.
Let stand a few minutes to dry.

Bake on a baking pan that has been greased 20-25 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink.   Test the meat with a thermometer.

** frugal tip:   Nut pieces are cheaper than whole nuts in the bulk isle and you save work too.

Ingrdents:  the quantities depend on how many you are serving.   It is meant to go with pasta, but I cooked it without pasta and it was fine...
