Bite-Size Parmesan Chicken

I'm not from the South, but I love Southern cuisine. The ingredients are easy to find, the dishes are simple to make, and the food is all about comfy and homey. Last week, chicken breasts were on special and it has been a while that I haven't eaten any bread crumb coated chicken. I found on Simply Recipes a mouthwatering dish that I need to absolutely make it at my next cooking session and I did! The bite-size parmesan chicken was a great hit and some of us tempted to eat more than others (including me). Think of this dish as the fresh and tastier version of chicken nuggets.
