Preparation

Step 1

Arrange your chicken chunks on a baking sheet as closely together as you can, but not on top of each other. Bake this in the oven at the temperature and time listed on the package directions. *If you are using leftover chicken that you made the night before (these chicken strips would be excellent for that, don't fret over them being strips vs. nuggets), just place them on a baking sheet and put them in a 350 oven for about ten minutes.

Remove from oven and generously top them with mozzarella and parmesan. Then, sprinkle garlic powder over all. Top with crumbled bacon.

Return to oven for about 5 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted.

Notes

*The chicken used for this recipe can be frozen, fresh, or leftover but they should be fully cooked and merely reheated for this recipe.
