This is what the kids and I made the other night, Homemade Chicken Nuggets! They were so super easy that I can’t believe I have not made them all the time. Plus they were really good!
Use either chicken tenders or just cut of up some chicken breasts into chunks. Honestly I think you really need to use the Panko crumbs, they just make it nice and crunchy!
I used tender this time because that is what I had on hand. Just cut them up into bite size piece.
Next add a packet of ranch seasoning, and about 1/2 cup flour with some salt and pepper to a zip lock bag.
Put the chicken in the bag and let a kid shake the bag until they are coated with the flour mixture.
Now make an assembly line of the following: coated chicken, then some beaten egg in a bowl (I used 3 eggs), Panko crumbs and finally your baking sheet or dish.
Dip in each bowl and place on baking sheet. I used my Silpat sheets so they didn’t stick.
Then I baked them at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. This is going to depend on how thick they are. I would pull them out after 15 minutes and slice a bigger one open to see if it is done. You don’t want to overcook them so they are tough, but obviously raw chicken won’t work either!

Do you know if this freezes well? Can a huge batch be made and cooked and then frozen?

I have not tried that!
