I saw some reviewers mentioned "nuggets", so I chopped up 1.87 pounds of chicken and the breadcrumb mix just made it. I will make this again because my picky 3-year-old gobbled it up and asked for more. But next time I'll just cook the nuggets 25-30 minutes; they were overdone at 37-or-so when I took them out. I'll also try this with tofu as an experiment. Thanks! Reviewed for ZWT4.

We loved this recipe! I used fresh breadcrumbs from a loaf of whole grain bread with pecans. I used fresh paprika which really gave a great flavor to the chicken and the sauce complemented it well. I would make this again! Quick, Easy and yummy!!! Thanks Jen! *Photo Tag*

This was a basic chicken nugget recipe which was good but nothing fancy until I added the sauce; that really transformed it into something really delicious. We loved this.
