Cat's Cajun pan-fried chicken nuggets

This is a nice recipe that goes with a wide variety of sides.  It's a bit hands on, but completely worth the effort.

Ingredients:
Boneless chicken cut into bite-size pieces
Cornmeal
Tony's Creole Seasoning
Oil or butter for the pan

Directions:
1.  In a flat dish with edges (I use pie dishes), pour a bit of cornmeal mixed with Tony's to taste.
2.  Coat the chicken pieces in the mixture.
3.  After coating, throw the pieces into the pan (which should have oil or butter to keep things from burning).
4.  Turn the pieces over occasionally and put on a plate covered in a paper towel once they're nicely browned and cooked through.

For such an easy dish, these are surprisingly tasty.  Then again, Tony's is one of those seasonings that just seems to improve almost anything.  The cornmeal and Tony's give them a nice flavor without them being too weighed down.
