All white meat chicken coated in Ezekiel breadcrumbs then baked. This is an easy kid friendly recipe your whole family will love. There’s nothing more kid friendly than chicken nuggets, right? Even really picky eaters usually eat chicken nuggets. You can serve with BBQ sauce or Coleman’s mustard {our favorite} or any other dipping favs. Take left overs to work in your lunch the next day in either a salad or just as is.
These are breaded with home made Ezekiel Bread Crumbs. Please don’t use stale bread to make your bread crumbs – you’ll just end up with stale tasting bread crumbs. You can toast your bread in the oven on 350 for about 15 minutes to get super crunch, then use a mini food processor to make your crumbs.
Once you have the bread crumbs place in a separate bowl and combine with seasonings. We used Sea Salt, Pepper, Paprika and Garlic Powder {to taste}. You can even add some Parmesan cheese if you want {we don’t eat much cheese in our house so we don’t add this}. Then in another bowl beat one large organic egg. Cut up organic chicken into small bite size chunks. Then start your dipping. First in the egg, then in the bread crumbs and put on an olive oil sprayed baking sheet.
Cook in a 425° preheated oven for 10 minutes, then turn over and cook for another 5-7 minute or until done {we always cut one in half first to see if it’s done}. We served the nuggets with organic homemade potato chips and fries. However, they need a little bit of work, so we’ll be posting instructions on those another day!
