Chicken Parmesan Bites

My kids will eat anything in chicken nugget form! Since I am not a short order cook and only make 1 thing for the whole family, I needed some kid friendly and grown up friendly homemade chicken nuggets. One of my favorite recipes is Chicken Parmesan but it can be a bit involved and I don’t always have the time.  Combine the two- nuggets and chicken Parmesan and you have delicious Chicken Parmesan Bites that everyone will devour. The combination of bread crumbs and Parmesan gives a lovely crunch, even though they are baked and not fried!
