My kids just love these baked chicken nuggets for dinner. Crunchy coating and soft on the inside, these are the absolute best!

 2 chicken breasts (cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces)
 4 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
 1 cup breadcrumbs
 ½ tsp paprika
 ¼ cup grated parmesan
 1 tsp onion powder (optional)
 salt to taste
 pepper to taste
1

Preheat your oven to 200ºC. Cover your baking sheet with foil and keep it aside.

2

In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with some salt and pepper. Now spoon over your olive oil onto the nuggets and mix it till all the pieces are nicely coated.

3

Spread the breadcrumbs out onto a plate. Add some paprika, parmesan and onion powder (optional) to the crumbs and give it a quick stir.

4

Pick up a nugget and place it in the breadcrumbs making sure to coat all sides well.

5

Shake off the excess and place it on the foiled sheet. Keep repeating these steps till all your chicken nuggets are coated.

6

Place them in the oven. Once 10 minutes are up, turn your nuggets over and bake for an additional 5 minutes. They are now ready!
