These were very easy to make and my children loved them. I thought they were a little bland so I tweaked the recipe a little. Changes I made: 2/3 cup parmesan cheese, 1 tsp. seasoned salt, omitted the regular salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder and added 1 tsp Italian seasoning. After my children tried the new ones they liked them even better. I made a large batch and froze them for school lunches.

Made these for my daughter who has Celiac. She liked them. I thought they were a little to salty for my taste. But good all around. Will make again.

I've found that if you take the small skinless/boneless pieces of chicken breast, add a few spices, like season-all, a dash of cumin, dried garlic, put in a bowl, and grind with a hand blender, then shallow fry as normal, the texture of the nuggets will be more like the fast food ones. But much healthier. You don't have to add all those spices, it's just how I and my children prefer it.
