Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian herb blend (if using).
   • Place the flour in another shallow dish.
   • In a third shallow dish, combine the melted butter and beaten eggs.
4. Coat the Chicken:
   • Strain the chicken pieces from the buttermilk.
   • Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.
   • Dip the floured chicken pieces into the butter and egg mixture.
   • Finally, coat the chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
5. Bake the Nuggets:
   • Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared wire rack.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the baked Parmesan chicken nuggets with your favorite dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or honey mustard.
