Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Salt
1 Tbs. vegetable oil
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs slightly beaten

Instructions

Cut chicken into 2-inch pieces. Spread panko on baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees until golden about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, add Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt; drizzle with oil and stir.
Place flour and eggs in separate shallow dishes. Place wire rack on baking sheet and coat lightly with cooking spray.
Coat chicken pieces in flour. Shake to remove excess and dip in egg and then in panko. Place on rack.
Bake about 12 minutes, turning over halfway through. Serve nuggets with Honey Mustard Sauce: Combine 3 Tbs., Dijon mustard with 2 Tbs. each mayonnaise and honey. Or make an Apricot Mustard Sauce: 1 cup apricot jam or preserves; 1/4 cup Dijon mustard; 1 tsp. fresh thyme, (optional); and pinch cayenne pepper.
