Delicious, way better than the restaurant nuggets, and very easy! I floured the chicken cubes before dipping in the egg white. It makes the breading stick better, but you may have to use an extra white, since the flour seems to soak up more.

I also tried a gluten-free version by crushing a mixture of rice chex and corn chex, plus dried parsley and Mrs. Dash seasoning for chicken. Very good!

Easy to make and my picky chicken loving child loves them! I double all of the ingredients except I only use one egg white and it turns out great.

My Family really liked these! We used a ranch bread crumbs instead but it only increased the calories by about 1 calorie. YUMMY
