Baked Chicken Nuggets

i have two kids, ages 1 and 5. they are both really picky eaters (aren't most kids, though?). today, i whipped up a super easy (so easy i can't believe i'm even posting it on here) lunch for them.

8 frozen chicken tenders
1 packet dry ranch dressing mix
1/2 cup milk
3 slices of toast, made into crumbs in food processor (i've also used multi-grain club crackers when i was out of bread- i like it with the crackers even better, i think.)


put frozen chicken tenders, ranch dressing, and milk into a gallon ziplock bag. allow the chicken to thaw (shouldn't take long at room temperature- an hour or two) but DO NOT MICROWAVE to thaw them. while the chicken thaws, it will soak up the delicious flavor of the ranch.
once chicken is thawed, cut each tender in half into a nugget size.
place bread crumbs into a medium-sized ziplock bag (quart size? i think.) toss nuggets, one at a time, in bread crumbs. remove and place on a baking sheet. (i even lined my baking sheet with foil to make my life even easier).
bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. YUM.
