Baked Chicken Nuggets. Kid tested, Mother approved (because they are delicious).

I got this recipe off of skinnytaste.com. The kids loved them and so did I.

Baked Chicken Nuggets

16 oz (2 large) skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into even bit sized pieces
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp olive oil
6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 tbsp panko (Japanese bread crumbs, found mine on the baking isle)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
olive oil spray

Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and Parmesan cheese in another
Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken
Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then bake 8 - 10 minutes. Turn over then cook another 4 - 5 minutes or until cooked though

You could double or even triple this and freeze the rest for quick reheat lunches.
