Chicken Nuggets

These Chicken Nuggets are not just for kids ;o) I like to serve them with a few healthy side dishes such as Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash and Cauliflower Rice.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, remove any visible fat and cut into 2" pieces (or preferred size)
• 1 cup bread crumbs, crushed
• 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (more if needed)
• 1 egg, slightly beaten

Directions:

1. Mix bread crumbs, cheese, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
2. Dip chicken pieces into beaten egg; roll in bread crumbs until fully coated.
3. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add breaded chicken and cook until nicely browned on both sides and meat is thoroughly cooked (no longer pink in the center), about 10 minutes.

Serve with mustard or BBQ sauce, if desired.
