They have many wonderful dishes to choose from but I love the trout cakes and the apple pork tenderloin. The breakfast is out of this world also!!

This recipe is my knock off of Chick fil A chicken minis!                    







1 11 oz pgk of Sister Shubert's Parker House Style yeast rolls(16 rolls)
16 pieces of chicken nuggets (ready to cook) I use Perdue popcorn nuggets from Costco


Directions:
Bake rolls according to package directions. Fry or bake nuggets. Slice rolls and add 1 piece of chicken to each roll. Enjoy!!
