Healthy Baked Chicken Nuggets

I decided to try this recipe because C has been a little weird with eating chicken. We've tried to give him just plain grilled chicken and he hasn't really eaten it. We've also given him chicken in quesadillas, but he eats them better when they are just cheese. I know, weird right? So what kid doesn't like chicken nuggets? I got this recipe from Gina's Skinny Recipes at http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/04/healthy-baked-chicken-nuggets.html

16 oz (2 large) skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into even bit sized pieces
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp olive oil
6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 tbsp panko
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
olive oil spray

Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.

Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another.Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken.
Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then bake 8 - 10 minutes. Turn over then cook another 4 - 5 minutes or until cooked though.
