Healthy chicken nuggets for toddler

I have left this blog too long unmaintained due to busy work schedule and dealing with demanding toddler while carrying our new baby.yes, we are expecting a new member of our family this year! Basically my everyday life is like rushing to everything and everywhere.I squeezed in a week of business trip in May to Ireland. It was a bonus as I got to run away from hectic home life for a week however is not a real bonus a well..this business trip was as hectic a well. I lazy to recall how our flight was canceled due to plane function error when we were already seated I'm the plane and how I  threw up in the bus that reroute to take us to our destination and everyday meeting full day and only manage to shop in airport on the last day.
Okay back to original purpose of writing this entry.I am currently in a vendor tool workshop. Since the tool that is being discussed is not of my interest,I took my phone out and start blogging again.
This is the chicken nuggets that I made for my kid.he is a typical picky kid who doesn't eat meat and there was once when we were in ikea, we gave him nuggets and he took without fuss. So I am really determined to make a healthy version for him, baked not fried.
I roughly list down the ingredients.
2 slabs of chicken breast, deboned
Garlic powder
Parsley
Black peppers
Salt
Bread ( white or wholemeal, whichever)
Steps
1.minced chicken meat, I used knife and just chopped them for 15 min
2. Mix  salt, parsley, garlic powder and black pepper, marinate for about 10 min.
3. Tear the bread into 1x1 inch pieces and toast in preheat oven for about 20 min until crunchy. I turned them around at half the time so I don't get burnt bread on a side only
4. Processed the bread in food processor or blender into fine bread crumbs and put them into a dry plate. Mix grated parmesan with breadcrumbs if you like
5. Clean your hands and wet your palm
6.Take a some minced chicken meat and roll into into a ball then press it. You can make out into any shape you like
7. Place the meat piece in the plate containing breadcrumbs and cover all sides with breadcrumbs.
8. When you are done doing this for all the minced chicken, you can either bake them directly in oven for 30 min or keep them in freezer for future use.
I made about 20 pieces from this batch and bake a few every weekend for the little toddler.its healthy and yummy!
