Tender Chicken Nuggets
Everybody loves chicken nuggets, right? Everyone in my family does! But trying to cut out processed foods and sugar definitely cuts out store-bought chicken nuggets. I found a home-made replacement that we love! I have made these many times for many people (including kids of all ages) and they have always been very well received. If you want to get your kids away from eating fast food chicken nuggets, try these! My incredibly picky five year old nephew said, “These are the best chicken nuggets I’ve ever had!” Now, isn’t that an amazing compliment coming from a five year old? These are a much healthier version of your fried nugget. Only 200 calories for a serving of 6 nuggets and only 3 grams of fat! The best part: they are super easy to make and are ready in only 25 minutes!
I am including the recipe below because I have been making these nuggets for so many years that they have, apparently, been removed from the allrecipes.com site. I couldn't find it to link to!
