Cheesy Chicken Bites


Cheesy Chicken Bites

Serves 2.

This is what happens when you're already halfway through making chicken nuggets, and then realize you are out of breadcrumbs. An equally tasty, yet messier, version is born. Instead of using your fingers, spear these with a fork.

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 c. creamy Italian dressing
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese (powdered style, freshly grated, or a mix of the two)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place dressing and cheese in two separate bowls.
Cut chicken breasts into bite-size pieces or "nuggets."
Dip in dressing and then cheese, fully coating with both.
Place on a baking sheet that has been coated with non-stick spray.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through, and cheese has begun to turn golden.

A Note From The LL: The nuggets to the far left of the photo were marinated in regular Italian dressing and baked "naked." An even easier option and healthier too!
