Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut
into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and
pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive
oil, milk, bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese.
Dip the chicken cubes into the flour mixture,
then into the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the chicken nuggets on a baking sheet
lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and
cooked through.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as
ketchup, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
Tips
For a healthier version, use whole-wheat flour
and bread crumbs.
You can also add your favorite herbs and spices
to the breadcrumb mixture.
If you want crispy chicken nuggets, bake them
for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve with a side of vegetables or fruit for a
complete meal.

Additional Tips
This recipe can be easily customized to your
liking. You can add different herbs and spices to the breadcrumb mixture, or

If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can use
another type of hard cheese, such as Asiago or Romano.
You can also use a food processor to make the breadcrumb
mixture.
