  Healthy Baked Chicken Nuggets
  
  Servings: 4 • Serving Size: 1/4th of nuggets
  Calories: 164.9 • Fat: 4.6 g • Protein: 22.1 g • Carb: 7.7 g • Fiber: 0.9 g • Sugar: 0.1 g
  
  
  

  • 16 oz (2 large) skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into even bit sized pieces
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp panko
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • olive oil spray
    

  
  Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.
  
  Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another.
  
  Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken.
  
  Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then bake 8 - 10 minutes. Turn over then cook another 4 - 5 minutes or until cooked though
  
  
  When I make these, I actually need more OO to dip fyi... and I sometimes run out of breadcrumbs so have to add more of that too
  
  I have a recipe for baked mozzarella sticks too if you were interested. About 45 calories per stick.

  Skinny Baked Mozzarella Sticks
  Servings: 12 • Serving Size: 2 pieces
  Calories: 86.8* • Fat: 4.8 g • Protein: 7.4 g • Carb: 3.5 g • Fiber: 0.2 g • Sugar: 0.2
  Sodium: 168.6
  
  Ingredients:
  
  

  • 12 sticks part-skim, reduced sodium mozzarella string cheese (Sargento)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 5 tbsp Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 5 tbsp panko crumbs
  • 2 tsp parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley
  • olive oil cooking spray (I used my misto)

  
  Directions:
  
  Cut cheese in half to give you 24 pieces. Place cheese in the freezer until cheese is frozen.
  
  In small bowl, whisk the egg. Place the flour on another small dish. In separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, panko, parmesan cheese and dried parsley.
  
  Dip the frozen sticks in flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg, then coat with the crumbs.
  
  Repeat this process with the remaining cheese placing them on a tray with wax paper. Place cheese back into the freezer until ready to bake (this is a must or they will melt before the crumbs get golden).
  
  When ready to bake preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with oil.
  
  Place frozen cheese sticks on baking sheet. Spray the tops of the mozzarella sticks with a little more oil and bake in the bottom third of your oven until crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and bake an additional 4 - 5 minutes watching them closely so they don't melt.
  
  **I can't take credit for these recipes... I got them off skinnytaste.com, she has pictures of the process and everything, as well as a bunch of other recipes.

  Absolutely anything on skinnytaste is fabulous!

  
  

  I have a whole board on Pinterest of healthy recipes and most of them are from there. The Crock Pot Sante Fe Chicken is particularly good.
