Ingredients
16 frozen chicken nuggets (round or dinosaur shape)
1 cup marinara sauce (smooth)
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan
4 slices provolone, cut into fourths
Fresh basil, chiffonade, for garnish
Directions
- Bake the chicken nuggets according to the package instructions, ensuring that the chicken is cooked through and hot. Remove the pan and turn the oven to a medium broil setting.
- Top each chicken nugget with approximately a teaspoonful of marinara, a touch of Italian seasoning, a few red pepper flakes and a pinch of the Parmesan. Next, add a piece of the provolone to the top of each nugget. Place under the broiler until the provolone has melted and is beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a platter and top with the basil.
