Chicken Nuggets

I enjoy making healthy recipes for my one year old daughter. This was a super simple one and I really enjoyed it too! I prepped them and then froze them pre-cooking so that I could pull a few out as needed and they would be fresh.

Ingredients

Nuggets:
1 lb Chicken Tenders, cut into pieces
1 cup Whole Wheat Bread Crumb (I made the breadcrumb from a double high fiber bread by putting the bread in the food processor, pulsing to crumb size and then baking the crumbs at 375 degrees until they are dry and crumbly, stirring occasionally)
1 Egg
2 Tbsp Milk
Garlic Salt and Pepper to taste
Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray

Dipping Sauce:
1 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard

Directions

1. Place the milk and egg in a bowl and beat together with a fork. Next to that, place the breadcrumb in a second bowl and to the right of that a baking sheet covered in parchment or foil.

2. Salt and pepper the chicken chunks, dip them in the egg batter then in the breadcrumb and then place them in a single layer on the baking sheet. Freeze the prepared chicken nuggets until hard and then place them in to a freezer safe bag.

3. To cook, first preheat broiler.
Place the desired number of frozen nuggets on a baking sheet and spray each side with extra virgin olive oil. Broil nuggets about five minutes each side until chicken is cooked through and outside is browned.

4. Mix the honey and dijon mustard and serve as dipping sauce.
