It's chicken fingers done "Italian-Style." My want-to-be-Italian father (no joke my Dad loves to try to speak Italian, look Italian and eat and drink like an Italian. He even tries to pass me off as his little Italian daughter, even though we don't have a drop of Italian blood in us) will be very proud to see that I've taken a classic American fast food dish, and turned it into a gourmet Italian dinner.
And let me tell you, these little chicken dippers are delicious, or as my Dad would say "molto bene," which is very good in Italian, but I don't believe it's being used in the right context? Clearly, we are impostors. You can serve the chicken dippers on their own, or over a bowl of pasta. Either way, you're going to love them.
