Ingredients

1/2 lb of ground chicken
1 cup of Italian breadcrumbs
2 tbsp. of parmesan cheese (grated)
2 tbsp. of butter (melted)
1 egg
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
garlic powder (to taste)
onion powder (to taste)

Instructions

Prepare the coating
Grab a bowl and add the chicken, cheese, egg, half of the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix the ingredients well. In another bowl, add the other half of the breadcrumbs, along with the butter and mix well.
1/2 lb of ground chicken, 1 cup of Italian breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp. of parmesan cheese (grated), 1 egg, salt (to taste), pepper (to taste), garlic powder (to taste), onion powder (to taste), 2 tbsp. of butter (melted)
Shape the dinosaurs
Prepare by lining a sheet with parchment paper. Grab portions of the chicken mixture and press down to around 1/4" thick and place on your parchment paper. Use your dinosaur-shaped cookie cutter (or any other cookie-cutter of your choosing) on each portion, until you have used all of the chicken mixture. Now place the sheet into the freezer until slightly firm (this should take around 20-30 minutes).
Coat the dinosaurs
Preheat your oven to 400F and remove any mixture around the cookie cutters that you do not need. Remove the nuggets from the cutters and they should now hold shape. Now dip each dinosaur nugget into your butter and breadcrumbs mix, ensuring each nugget is completely covered. Then place onto a baking sheet. Repeat until all nuggets are covered.
Bake the dinosaurs
Place in the center of a preheated oven for around 30-35 minutes. It may be slightly longer, or slightly less, depending on how thick your nuggets are. Remove from oven - and enjoy!
