Baked Chicken Nuggets

Oh my, time has flown. I made this two weeks ago. I don't usually follow recipes exactly. Just put bits together according to what I have on hand or thought interesting. For this, I combined the recipes from allrecipes, here and youtube, forgot link.

I used chicken breast meat, because too lazy to debone the drumstick. However, I did pound (or whatever the correct word is) on the breast meat to tenderize it. Then I used metal cookie cutters to mark the outline (weren't sharp enough to cut through the meat) and cut with kitchen scissors. The leftover bits were left as strips and cooked the same way. (Not pictured here cos not pretty *_*)

I mixed plain flour with powdered parmesan cheese and pepper. Then put the flour mixture, beaten egg and crushed cornflakes onto their respective plates, arranging them in an assembly line. First the meat was rolled in the flour mixture, then dipped into egg, and covered with the crushed cornflakes. Then baked in the oven at 190*C for 15 minutes. And the results were healthful, crunchy chicken nuggets. The meat was tender but a tad dry. But the crunchiness made up for it.

The older kids had a few pieces each. Fussy babylet came to admire the results but refused to try. She ended up with milk for dinner again. She's already 27 months - old enough for "If you don't eat dinner, you can jolly well starve" routine yet?
Another question. Besides dinosaur nuggets from NTUC on my Singapore shopping list, what other nuggets to add?
