Baked Chicken Nuggets

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Cut the chicken into 1 1/2-inch pieces.

Combine the bread crumbs, cheese, salt, and basil in a shallow bowl. Place the melted butter in another shallow bowl.

Dip each piece of chicken into the melted butter and then into the bread crumb mixture. Lightly press the bread crumbs on so they adhere. Place the pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.

Serve hot with any desired dipping sauces (bbq, honey mustard, ranch dressing, etc).

To make in an air fryer: Set the temperature to 375 degrees F. Place the nuggets in the basket allowing room between them for air circulation. Air fry the nuggets for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning them once during the cooking time.
