Ingredients

1 lb - boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup - old fashioned oats
¼ tsp - dried parsley
½ tsp - garlic powder
¼ tsp - onion powder
½ tsp - kosher salt
¾ cup - panko bread crumbs
1 tbsp - parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Place the first 6 ingredients in a food processor until chicken is finely chopped and ingredients are combined.
Place the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in a shallow bowl or on a plate and stir to combine.
With moistened hands, roll 1 tablespoon of chicken mixture between your palms and flatten it into a “nugget” shape.
Gently press nuggets into bread crumbs to evenly coat them.
Place nuggets on parchment lined baking sheet and lightly spray nuggets with cooking spray.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden and serve. If you want your nuggets to be more golden brown, place under the broiler for 2 minutes after cooking.
