Ranch Chicken Nuggets- A meal even a husband can make !

I found this recipe online where it was suggested that it is a fun recipe to teach children to make. I taught my husband and now he has a meal he can easily make and loves to eat.

Ranch Chicken Nuggets:

-Chicken breasts or strips cut into small bite size chunks (whatever size you like)
-Ranch dressing (try the Cajun ranch or ranch mixed with hot sauce for a kick)
-Special K or Corn Flakes
-Parmesan cheese thinly grated
-Flour


Instructions:
- Pour 1-2 cups of cereal into a ziplock bag and smash until they are like panko breadcrumbs.
-Add Parmesan cheese to the cereal mixture and shake up to evenly distribute.
-Pour the cheese/cereal mix into a bowl or dish
-Put flour, and ranch dressing into separate bowls.
- Spray a baking tray with Pam
-take nuggets and dip into flour, then the ranch, then into the cereal/cheese mix and place on the baking tray
-Cook at 375 for 15-25 minutes depending on how large your nuggets are.

You could also flash fry these, but we were going for the healthier route. I like to serve with blanched green beans and almonds.
