A kid friendly dinner

James doesn't like eating meat (unless of course it's fast food like a cheese burger or chicken nuggets!). I was so excited when I came across this recipe for homemade chicken nuggets and I thought I'd give it a try.


He and I got to make it together and the whole time he said "these are going to be so delicious!" We decided fries were a good side dish. I figure they weren't any worse than a baked potato. We just cut them to the right size, brushed a very small amount of oil on them and sprinkled them with seasoning.

You should give the recipe a try. It really was delicious, especially when you dip the nuggets in honey. Yummo!

Ingredients:

3 cups corn flakes

1/3 cup grated Parmesan Cheese

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp garlic powder pinch of pepper

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup flour

2 large eggs, beaten


Cut the chicken breasts into nugget-sized pieces. Set aside. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil or coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Place the corn flakes in a resealable plastic bag and crush to a fine texture using a rolling pin or the bottom of a small saucepan. Poor into a medium sized bowl. Add the Parmesan cheese, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper to the crushed corn flakes. Place the eggs in a separate small bowl. Place the flour in a separate small bowl. To bread the chicken, coat in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in the egg, then coat well in the corn flake mixture. Arrange the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and cook until golden brown, about 12-14 minutes. After they are done cooking, you can enjoy them OR place in freezer to freeze. After completely frozen, seal them up in a FoodSaver bag to enjoy as you need them! (To reheat, remove a few from the freezer and reheat in the microwave for a minute or so).
