Baked Parmesan Chicken Nuggets are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken nuggets. This simple and easy recipe combines tender chicken breast pieces with a flavorful bread crumb and Parmesan cheese coating, then bakes them to golden perfection. These nuggets are perfect for a family dinner, snack, or appetizer.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Cut the chicken breasts into nugget-sized pieces, approximately 1-2 inches each.
- In a small bowl, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.
- Transfer the butter-coated chicken pieces into the bread crumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to ensure an even coating.
- Place the breaded chicken nuggets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven and let the nuggets cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce!
Tips:
- Cut chicken breasts into evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.
- Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for a few hours for extra tenderness.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
- Make sure to press the bread crumb mixture onto the chicken pieces to ensure it sticks well.
- Preheat the oven for even cooking and a crispy coating.
- For an extra crispy texture, lightly spray the coated chicken nuggets with cooking spray before baking.
- Flip the chicken nuggets halfway through baking for even browning on both sides.
Enjoy your homemade Baked Parmesan Chicken Nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce or as a part of a main course. They're sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike. Not only are they delicious, but baking instead of frying makes them a healthier option.
