Baked Chicken Nuggets

I got this recipe from allrecipes.com and it's a good one! I actually made it low-fat by using egg whites (instead of butter) for the coating.
BAKED CHICKEN NUGGETS:

3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 cup butter, melted (or egg whites)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Cut chicken breasts into 1 1/2 inch size pieces. In a medium bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, cheese, salt, thyme and basil. Mix well. Put melted butter/margarine in a bowl or dish for dipping.

Dip chicken pieces into the melted butter/margarine first, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place well coated chicken pieces on a lightly greased cookie sheet in a single layer, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. (Flip them over after 10 min) They are good with honey mustard.
UPDATE: I just ate some more of these after they had been in the fridge for a couple hours and they are even more delicious because the flavors really set in. Yum!
