Preheat oven to 400°F (205℃). Lightly grease one to two baking sheets.

Cube 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast into bite-size nugget pieces.

In a small mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup plain bread crumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons dried basil, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Melt 1/2 cup salted butter in a microwave on medium power in 30-second increments until fully melted.
