In the past we've had trouble eating out because the diners' version of nuggets are usually much larger than even standard kid nuggets -- "fingers" -- so each bite has much less coating, and also they are often made with real chicken breast, not processed, homogenized meat. (we can't do fast-food nuggets at all since they all have whey in the coating. He'll eat fast-food burgers but not at the diners. Yet.)
However, he has branched out in the past few months to willingly eat the breast fingers at the diners, so I thought it was time to try again at home, particularly since his appetite has increased to the point where he can eat half a $4 box of Any'tizers for dinner, which is not only getting expensive but also just can't be good for him to eat so much processed food all.the.time.
And then I saw this recipe on the Bisquick box:
I modified it to be non-dairy. And I upped the protein portion as well, mostly just to replace the 1/2 cup Parmesan, but also because Husband tries to eat low-carb.
And guess what? For one of the first times ever, we all had the same main dish for dinner! Thank you, Bisquick!!

I made chicken fingers for Jordan a few weeks ago - using this same recipe! (He lives for fast food - and yes, I try to make "fast food" at home for him to cut down on cost. Gotta do watcha gotta do ;)
It's good without the parmesan cheese, too. And you bake 'em ... no frying, which I rarely do. You could cut up the chicken smaller for bite-sized pieces, too.
