“My kids only want to eat chicken nuggets at every meal!” This is the cry I hear so often from other parents but what are you to do? Forget those fast food nuggets and make your own healthier version. There are many recipe variations you can find online but my family has a few favorites.
Sesame Chicken Strips: Moist and delicious, I always make extra of this one! (hint: cut them into “nuggets” before dipping in the coating if you prefer a smaller bite
Deceptively Delicious Chicken Nuggets: Dipped in pureed veggies before adding the fiber-filled breading, my family ALWAYS goes back for seconds with this recipe!
Panko-Crusted Chicken Bites with Apricot-Mustard Sauce: A light breading crisps up nicely and the apricot-mustard sauce is a great dipping sauce we all enjoy!
So, yes you can have your chicken nuggets and eat healthy too! A little bit extra effort but they’re worth it (hint: make up the dry ingredients as a kit for busy nights).
Happy cooking!
