Baked McChickens with Yogurt Ranch Dressing

Try this healthy alternative to fast food chicken bites. These nuggets are a great portable lunch because the chicken doesn't have to be served hot. You can even double or triple the recipe and freeze in individual servings. Pull out a portion the night before and defrost overnight in the refrigerator for your child's lunch-box the next day.
