I know two things: we're always working within a budget when it comes to household expenses and we're always looking for different ways to cook chicken! In comes Hellmann's and their Chicken Change Up campaign. When asked to join in, I couldn't refuse!
I had a little get together with friends and had them try my adaptation of their Oven-Fried Herb Chicken – I made them into nuggets! Inspired by a recipe that landed from my inbox from Everyday Food, I decided to use panko breadcrumbs.
When we throw a party, we try to use what we have and plan the food that way. I don't always use plastic or paperware, it's okay to use mismatched plates, it adds color to your party. And by all means, always, always have plenty of food! There's nothing like running out of food.

To cut into nuggets, I first cut the chicken in half length-wise, making them cutlets. Then I cut into strips. You're welcome to leave them as strips or fingers(!) or cut them into little nuggets like I did.
Browning the panko breadcrumbs before dipping the chicken in them cuts down baking time and gives your nuggets a well-rounded flavor.
