Homemade Baked Chicken Nuggets

We love chicken nuggets, but the ones from McDonald's are made from anything but meat. I mean, they're yummy, but gross! I found a delicious recipe my whole family loves, and they're somewhat healthy! You can prep the pieces and place on pan, cover in foil and refrigerate; uncover and bake later, adding 5 to 10 minutes to bake time. I found this beauty on allrecipes. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Homemade Baked Chicken Nuggets

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 1/2 lbs)
1 c Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 c grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried thyme
1 Tbsp dried basil
1/2 c butter

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line jelly roll pan and lightly grease with cooking spray; set aside.
2. Cut breasts into 1 1/2 inch pieces. In medium bowl or large zip-lock back, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, thyme and basil. Melt butter in microwave in microwave safe bowl.
3. Dip breast pieces in melted butter and coat in bread crumb mixture. Place in single layer on prepared jelly roll pan. Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes, or until pieces start to brown and center of largest piece is no longer pink in middle.
