Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Cut chicken breasts into 1 1/2-inch pieces.

Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan, basil, thyme, and salt together well in a medium bowl. Put melted butter in a bowl or dish for dipping.

Dip chicken pieces into the melted butter first, then coat with the bread crumb mixture.

Place the well-coated chicken nuggets on a lightly greased cookie sheet in a single layer.

Bake nuggets in the preheated oven until browned and chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
