ingredients

6 chicken breasts
1 cup cracker crumb
¹⁄₂ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
¹⁄₃ cup finely chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon dried thyme
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried tarragon
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove (minced)
¹⁄₂ cup butter, melted

directions

Cut chicken into 1 inches cubes; this is easier if they're partly frozen.
In a small bowl, combine rest of the ingredients except butter.
Dip cubes into melted butter, then into crumb mixture.
On foil-lined baking sheet arrange pieces 1/2 inch apart.
Cover and refrigerate (or freeze in single layer, then package in airtight containers; No need to thaw before baking).
Bake, from fresh or frozen, uncovered at 400F for 15 - 20 minute or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve hot; if serving to guests then insert toothpicks for easy handling.
