instructions

Add all ingredients except breadcrumbs in a large bowl.
Soak breadcrumbs in water for 5 minutes, squeeze them out with your hands and add them in the bowl. Mix well with your hands until very well combined. Cover with plastic wrap. Refridgerate for a few hours or overnight.
In a pan mix flour with equal amount of semolina.

BAKED CHICKEN NUGGETS

ingredients 

• 1500gr boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in bite-size pieces
• 5-6 Tbsp olive oil
• 200gr breadcrumbs
• 200gr parmesan, grated
• dried thyme
• salt
• pepper

    
instructions

Put chicken bites in a bowl. Add olive oil, thyme and season with salt and pepper. Mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken.
Put breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese in a pan.
Using tongs put a few chicken bites at a time in the breadcrumb/parmesan mixture to coat all sides of chicken.
Place chicken nuggets in a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 200C for approximately 30 minutes.

Yes! We had a birthday party for my 12 year old goddaughter 😉
The rest of the finger food i made were my cheese phyllo triangles, pizza rolls, brioche sandwiches (with mayo, emmental, smoked turkey, lettuce, tomato) and mini crescent dogs (cocktail size sausages wrapped in refridgerated crescent rolls cut in stripes). 😋😋😋
