Baked Chicken Nuggets

Baked Chicken Nuggets (printable version)

1/2 c. whole wheat bread crumbs
1/2 c. oatmeal – ground in blender
*or you can use 1 c. of bread crumbs instead of oatmeal
1 egg
1/4 c. water
3 tbsp. of italian seasoning
2 chicken breasts, skinned, fat removed and flattened

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut chicken into small nugget sized pieces. Place all pieces in egg and water mixture and toss, making sure chicken is evenly coated with egg. Add seasoning and bread crumbs to gallon sized reclosable baggie. Add chicken. Toss until chicken is completely covered by bread crumbs.

Place chicken nuggets on baking sheet and bake in oven until juices run clear.  Approximately 15 – 30 minutes (I use a meat thermometer to check doneness).

Allow to cool. Place 5 to 6 nuggets each in individual sandwich baggies and put in freezer.
