Kickin' Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients:

  • 1 (6 oz) bag pita chips (such as Stacy's Parmesan Garlic & Herb)

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan

  • ½ cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (optional)

  • 1 egg

  • 1½ pounds chicken breasts, cut into 3-inch pieces

Preparation:

  1. Heat oven to 400° F.

  2. Place the pita chips and Parmesan in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until coarsely ground.

  3. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the parsley, if using.

  4. In a medium bowl, beat the egg with 1 teaspoon water. Dip the chicken in the egg, letting any excess drip off, then in the pita-chip mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere. Place the chicken pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  5. Bake until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes on each side.
