Is it Junk? Chicken Nuggets

Image
All You Need: 3-4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts  4 large eggs, beaten 2 cups breadcrumbs 2 cups all purpose flour bowls seasoning of choice (about 1/4 cup total) baking sheets oven some sort of storage container freezer What You Do: Preheat oven to 350°.

Very slowly add the melted butter.  Once the mixture is well blended, pour into muffin tin cups (fill about 2/3). Pop in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes.  Serve with fresh (or frozen) fruit and whipped cream. Or syrup. Or eat them plain. They're great no matter which way you eat them. The Wordy Bit My daughter loves watching these bake and puff up! I'm trying to figure out a way for them to better maintain their shape once they're out of the oven...they deflate, and it's a little sad. But these are delicious! I'm experimenting with including my Nutrition information on my recipes, so let me know ho...
