And thank goodness!
But since starting our real food journey, it's been tricky to create a real food version of everything my toddler used to love.
Namely his favorite lunch: chicken nuggets.
But I did it!!!
And these nuggets are soooo good!
Here's the recipe:
You will need:
1 large egg
1 TBSP grapeseed oil vegenaise
2 cups of cooked organic chicken
1/4 cup shredded organic cheese
whole wheat flour for coating
salt and pepper or seasoned salt to taste
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Pulse chicken in a food processor until finely chopped. (But don't over do it!!!)
3. Combine remaining ingredients with chicken in a bowl.
4. Scoop by rounding tablespoonfuls and drop a few at a time into a bowl full of whole wheat flour and coat each nugget.
5. Place nuggets on a parchment lined cookie sheet. I usually take this opportunity to mash them down a bit and shape them into cute nuggety looking nuggets...if that even makes sense...
7. Bake for about 18 minutes turning them over halfway through.
I love to make a double or triple batch and freeze them (flash freeze on a cookie sheet before placing in a freezer bag). Bake at 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes from frozen. Way better than Tyson nuggets. Watch "Food Inc." and you'll never want to eat another Tyson product again!
