RR - Cheese Chicken Nuggets

I'm starting a new recipe category - RR.  It does not stand for Rachael Ray (especially since I rarely make her recipes).  It stand for Rebecca's Recipes!  As Rebecca and I create and make her recipes I'll share them...if they are worth sharing :)

This week we made "cheese chicken nuggets."  It's a chicken nugget (her favorite) filled with cheese.  I made them using two methods.  They both worked fine.  I cut up some chicken chunks.  Then I pounded some of them thin and rolled them up with cheese inside.  Some I just cut a slit in the side and stuffed with a chunk of cheese.  Then I breaded them all and baked them.  They tasted great!  I was pretty rushed when making dinner, so I didn't do them as neatly as I would have liked and didn't get in as much cheese as I would have liked.  But they were still great.  I'll make them again for sure!  I served them with homemade honey mustard.
