Chicken Nuggets - Recipe

I am a mum of two amazing children and sometimes they don't want to eat 'grown up food' and want nothing more than nuggets and chips. I have made a point from the start of my journey that I wouldn't be making several different meals for us all as I felt by including us all into my lifestyle change I was showing my children the beauty of moderation and occasionally the food that is so bad for us, is ok.
This recipe made 8 servings (5 nuggets per portion) for a total of 40 nuggets. I had enough left over to freeze and re-heat for another night. Perfect, easy dinner!
These are also fun to get the kids involved with helping too although it can get a bit messy.

Ingredients

3 slices of brown bread (I lightly toasted them so they dried out a bit)
75g Plain White Flour
3 eggs
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
1 clove of garlic
335g chicken breast (diced into approx 40 nugget size bits)

Method


  1. Preheat your oven to 200* (180* fan assisted) and then place your brown bread, mixed herbs and garlic into a food processor untill they've been blended into crumbs
  2. In 3 seprate bowls add your flour, eggs and breadcrumbs. Take your chicken and coat it in the flour then the egg and lastly the breadcrumbs. Then place onto a baking tray. Repeat until all bits of chicken have been coated and placed onto the tray.
  3. Place into the fridge for 10 minutes to give the breadcrumbs chance to 'stick'
  4. Pop into the oven for 20 minutes.
