Baked Chicken Nuggets

Sometimes we ALL just need a chicken nugget!  Am I right??
This recipe is adapted from Martha Stewart and I changed a couple ingredients to make these nuggets healthier.

Baked Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup whole wheat panko bread crumbs

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Coarse salt

1 tbsp olive oil (or melted coconut oil)

½ cup almond flour (or whole wheat flour)

2 large eggs, slightly beaten

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Line baking sheet with foil and spread panko evenly onto pan.  Bake until golden brown, 6-8 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, cut chicken into 2 inch pieces

4. Let panko cool slightly then transfer to shallow dish.  Then add parmesan and salt, drizzle with olive oil and stir to combine.

5. Place flour and eggs into separate shallow dishes.

6. Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees

7. Set wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet, lightly coat with cooking spray.

8. In batches, coat chicken pieces with flour (shaking off excess), then dip in egg, then coat with panko.  Place pieces on rack.

9. Bake chicken for about 15 minutes, turning pieces halfway through.
