Shredded Wheat Popcorn Chicken

These delightful little nuggets have it all: super moist, great crispy texture, they're baked, not fried, and they are totally addicting!

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes
• ½ C. butter milk
• 3 tbsp. hot sauce (optional, but makes it taste soooooo good)
• salt & pepper
• 1 package of shredded wheat, crushed
• ¼ C. grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• Dipping sauce

Directions

Heat your oven to 375F.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken and let it sit for 15-20 minutes in the fridge.

Spread the crushed Shredded wheat in a shallow bowl, add another ½ tsp. or so of salt. Add the parmesan cheese and olive oil and combine. One by one, coat each piece of chicken in the Shredded Wheat mix, and place in a single layer on a large baking sheet.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken reaches and internal temperature of 165F.

Serve with ranch, salsa, jalapeño, or just about any sauce you can imagine!
