Homemade Chicken or Fish Nuggets
This was originally used for fish but I have also used it for chicken nuggets the same way, I just cook them a little longer:
2 or 3 Tilapia filets
1 egg
about 1/2 c milk
about 1/3 c parmesan cheese (grated)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
about 1 cup bread crumbs
Preheat over to 400!.
Cut the fish (or chicken) up into bite size pieces!. Put the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and parmesan into a ziploc bag!.
Mix the egg and the milk in a good sized bowl and add the fish (or chicken) nuggets to the bowl!.
Take the nuggets out of the milk/egg mixture a few at a time and drop into the bag!. Shake around until well coated and then place on baking sheet (you can grease it but I usually just line with foil)!. Do this until they are all coated and bake about 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your nuggets, slightly longer for chicken!. They are good!

Oven Fries
As an idea, in general, egg white can be used for the potatoes, so the seasonings would stick to it and makes them crispy!. I've used margarine on the cookie sheet instead of Pam spray or oil!. Or if you have a nonstick pan then don't use anything!.
Easy oven fries:
nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray (I've used margarine, if I don't have this)
4-5 large baking potatoes cut into 1/4 strips
seasoning blend, your choice
Preheat oven to 450°!.
Spray cookie sheet with nonstick spray!.
Toss potatoes with seasoning choice!. Put on a baking sheet and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes so they brown evenly!.
Bake until browned and crispy!.
