Nugget Panggang Rempah Itali (Baked Chicken Nugget with Italian Herbs)

This is another recipe inspired by one of my best friends. I mean, you can not talk about a food and how good it is without making me drool and end up trying to cook it (or get it somehow). This lovely friend of mine has a special chicken nugget recipe (her chicken nuggets are so good, people who tasted it beg her to make more for sell). Unfortunately today recipe is not her chicken nugget recipe because her recipe requires a lot of skills of cooking which I don't possess. Laziness is what I possess. So today's recipe is an easy and fool-proof one. The kind of recipe everyone loves, and the only kind that I am able to cook. 

If there's a 3D printer that can print an actual edible food, I'd definitely would get one but that will be the end of this recipe blog and the beginning of a new blog about my journey into becoming morbidly obese :P

Ingredients:

2 boneless chicken breast with no skin

2 cups of breadcrumbs (not Japanese Panko, but real breadcrumbs)

1 1/2-2 tsp garlic salt (adjust to your taste of saltiness)

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 tsp dried basil

2 tsp dried oregano

2 tsp dried thyme

2 eggs, whisked

freshly ground black pepper

Cooking steps:

1. Cut the boneless chicken breast into small chunks/strips,
2. Ground dried basil, dried oregano, and dried thyme using a mortar and pestle, 
3. In a medium bowl, mix well breadcrumbs, garlic salt, grated parmesan cheese, the ground herbs, and freshly ground black pepper. Put the breadcrumbs mixture in a resealable bag , 
4. Pre-heat the oven to 400 F (204 C), 
5. Prepare your baking tray (I put a rack on the tray, or you can simply line your tray with parchment paper),
6. Put few pieces of the chicken at a time into the breadcrumbs bag and toss gently to coat, 
7. Remove the chicken from the breadcrumbs bag and dip it gently in whisked egg,
8. Put back the dipped chicken into the breadcrumbs bag and toss to give the second layer of crumbs,
9. Place the well-coated chicken on the rack,
10. Repeat step 5 to 8 with the remaining chicken,
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. 
12. Et voila, your home-made chicken nuggets are ready to serve!

Happy cooking!
