Baked Chicken Nugget Recipe

Finding quick and easy dinner recipes can be a struggle. Especially when you are dealing with a picky eater. Since making this recipe, we have since conquered to picky eater syndrome with our kiddo, but we still make homemade chicken nuggets on a regular basis!

They are SO GOOD. Bonus is that they only call for four ingredients; chicken, buttermilk, croutons, and Parmesan cheese! Did I mention the prep time is only ten minutes?! That makes these a killer weeknight dinner. Ten minutes of prep and into the oven. Every busy parents dream dinner.

I mentioned that the ingredient list with this recipe is minimal. This means it is super important you purchase quality ingredients. Opt for the cheesy garlic croutons and always use fresh grated Parmesan if you can. 

What You Need:

  • Chicken breast
  • Cheese Garlic Croutons, crushed
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Buttermilk

Step by Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking tray with foil and lightly mist with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Place the buttermilk into a shallow dish. Mix the croutons and Parmesan cheese into a separate shallow dish. 
  3. Dip the chicken pieces into the buttermilk followed by the crouton mixture. Make sure they are well coated.
  4. Place in a single layer on your baking tray.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip halfway through for an evenly crisp nugget.

Tips for this recipe:

  1. Let the oven preheat fully before baking.
  2. Use an oven safe baking sheet to help get even crispier chicken.
  3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper for added flavor, if desired.
