1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
½ cup parmesan cheese, divided in half
¼ cup cold water
pinch of both salt and pepper
1 cup panko/breadcrumbs
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and set aside.
In a food processor place the chicken breasts, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, cold water, and salt and pepper. Pulse for 1 minute or just until the chicken is minced and everything is well combined.
Pour the breadcrumbs and ¼ cup parmesan into a shallow dish. Shape the minced chicken mixture into small nuggets and coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Line nuggets on a baking sheet and drizzle with oil or spray with cooking spray.
Bake 12-15 minutes then transfer under the broiler for 2 minutes or until nuggets are lightly golden.
To freeze: I place them in a ziplock bag for up to three months. When we want to use them, just put them in a toaster oven or microwave.
