Chicken Nuggets/Strips

I had a difficult time taking a picture of these chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes.  I only have white plates.  They taste much better than the picture makes them look.  You should make them and find out for yourself.  If you want to eat these with mashed potatoes, find your own recipe.  Mine were kind of dry.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups panko or regular bread crumbs

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/8 tsp salt

3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk

1 1/2 lbs chicken breast tenders

Cooking Spray

Method

1.  Preheat Oven to 450 F

2.  Combine panko (or bread crumbs), pepper, and salt in a shallow dish.  Pour buttermilk into another shallow dish.

3.  If you want nuggets, cut the tenders into nugget size pieces.  If you want strips, you're ready to go.

Dip chicken in buttermilk, dredge in dry mixture, then place on a wire rack for 10 minutes.  While the chicken stands, place a glass jelly roll pan in the oven to heat.

4.  Coat chicken with cooking spray.  Arrange chicken in a single layer on the pan.  Bake at 450 for 23 minutes or until lightly browned.  Serve with your choice of dipping sauce.  If you are my sister, serve with ketchup.

Enjoy.
