Coat pieces of chicken breast in olive oil, then in a mixture of whole wheat breadcrumbs, pepper, and grated Parmesan. Bake on a greased baking sheet at 210°C (410°F) for eight to ten minutes, then turn and bake for another five minutes until golden.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Preheat the oven to 210°C (410°F) and grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Mix the breadcrumbs, pepper, and Parmesan in a bowl. Pour 2 tbsp olive oil into a second bowl. Season the cut-up chicken with salt and pepper, then toss in the oil to coat evenly.
Coat the chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture and arrange on the baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, then turn and bake for another 5 minutes until golden.

Tip: Preheat the oiled baking sheet in the oven before adding the nuggets so they start browning on the bottom right away. Press the breadcrumb and Parmesan coating onto the nuggets with your palm to keep it from falling off when you turn them.
