Baked Chicken Nuggets

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (1 ½ pounds)
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 cup butter, melted (next time try, flour then egg then breadcrumbs.  Or even try soaking in buttermilk and then rolling in breadcrumbs)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Cut chicken breasts into 1 1/2-inch sized pieces. In a medium bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, cheese, salt, thyme and basil. Mix well. Put melted butter in a bowl or dish for dipping.

Dip chicken pieces into the melted butter first, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. 

Place the well-coated chicken pieces on a lightly greased cookie rack on top of a cookie sheet in a single layer, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
