Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Start by making your breadcrumb mixture in a large plate or large bowl with low sides. Combine breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and spices.
- In another medium sized bowl, combine ground chicken breast with parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and spices.
- Next, beat eggs on a small plate or in a small bowl.
- Set up your stations for making the chicken nuggets. You'll need your bowl of ground chicken, your bowl of breading, and your beaten egg.
- Using clean hands, form the ground chicken into small nugget shapes. Coat with beaten egg, and then coat with breading mixture. (Makes about 20 nuggets depending on size)
- Add formed and breaded chicken nuggets to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Bake nuggets in the oven for 20-25 minutes until chicken nuggets are golden brown and completely cooked through, flipping at about 15 minutes. If you use a meat thermometer they should read at least 165 degrees.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
