Baked Chicken Nuggets

I found this recipe at skinnytaste.com. I use leftovers in a salad with ranch dressing,

Serves 4 -adjust recipe accordingly 

16oz (2 large) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
2 teaspoons olive oil
6 Tablespoons whole wheat italian breadcrumbs, or regular plain breadcrumbs
2 Tablespoons panko bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese ( yes, in the green can, or powdered)
olive oil cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Put the olive oil in a bowl and mix the bite size chicken pieces to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Put the breadcrumbs, panko bread crumbs, and parmesan cheese in another bowl.

Put a few of the chicken pieces in the bowl of breadcrumb mixture at a time tossing to coat. Then place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with the olive oil cooking spray. When all chicken pieces have been coated with the breadcrumb mixture - spray the tops of the chicken pieces with olive oil cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, turn over chicken pieces and spray with a little more olive oil cooking spray - cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through.
