I don’t know about you, but I’m all about comfort foods made healthier and without the guilt. I made these for dinner one night and enjoyed the leftovers in a salad while my husband enjoyed them in a wrap for his lunch at work.
What I love about chicken nuggets/bites is that you can eat them whenever and they make the best leftover meals. I have had them for breakfast with my runny yolks (yes, you read correctly – try it!), I’ve had it for lunch leftovers on top of a salad, or even on a toasted sub. So if you try this recipe and love it – then consider making it in bulk to prep for your weekly meals!
Dunk these in your favorite sauce and don’t be afraid to let your inner child out!

Oh my gosh these look SO good! Like the best chicken nuggets ever!!!
It’s like you read my mind. I have a bag of tenderloins in the fridge and planned to bake them with a crumb!! I was going to try the America’s Test Kitchen method of dry pan frying panic first to make it golden and even crisper. I’ll try it with your seasonings!!
Thanks, Nagi! I hope you liked them!!
You’re right, I do love chicken bites! I love all of the spices in this too…
Your chicken nuggets look really good, far superior to the usual fast food offerings that my kids like! And baked in the oven too, that’s so much easier.
Thank you, Sheena! They were scrumptious and actual real chicken. 😉
