Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 ½ cups Italian-style panko bread crumbs
  2. ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  3. 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  4. 2 teaspoons salt
  5. ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  6. ½ teaspoon dry mustard powder
  7. ¾ cup butter
  8. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  9. 6 skinless, boneless pheasant breast halves, cut into chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine the panko, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, black pepper, and mustard powder in a bowl until evenly combined.
  2. Melt the butter with the garlic in a skillet over low heat. Once melted, cook and stir the garlic for 5 minutes to flavor the butter. Pour into a mixing bowl once melted. Dip the pheasant pieces into the melted butter, then press into the panko crumbs. Place onto an ungreased baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the remaining panko crumbs over the pheasant nuggets.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until the pheasant pieces are no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pheasant was delicious.

Excellent flavor and a nice simple way to prepare pheasants. My only complaint is that the cooking time was double the actual time needed. My breasts were 3/4 inches thick, so I cubed them at 3/4 inch.
