Parmesan Chicken Breast Nuggets

4 serving

• 1/4 to 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup Panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 lb chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
•      Marinara sauce, warmed (optional)

Preheat oven to 375°.

Put butter into a shallow bowl. Combine Panko, Parmesan and salt into another shallow bowl or plate. Dip chicken pieces into the butter; then roll in crumbs.

Place chicken pieces in a single layer on 2 15-in by 10-in non-stick baking pans. Bake at 375° for 16-18 minutes, turning once. Serve at once with warmed Marinera sauce on the side if desired.

Bon appetit!
