That's right folks! They are clean, they are healthy, they are low calorie, AND they are SCRUMPTIOUS!! I found them on pinterest (no surprise there) and thanks to eatcleandiet.com, my girlies still get their yummy nuggets and ketchup! I tweaked the recipe ever so slightly, and let me tell you, it was hard to stop at just one! yum! We found a 'clean' ketchup at sprouts, but I bet they'd be delicious with homemade ranch as well. I made a huge batch and stuck them in the freezer to give the kids a quick lunch on those busy days! From the freezer, you can either microwave for about 20 seconds per 4 nuggets or 10 minutes at 350 in your oven!
P.S. they are only 100 calories per 4 nuggets! Eat your heart out Chick-fil-a!!
Chicken Nuggets
Ingredients:
4 organic, boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup coarsely ground almonds
2 tbsp coarsely ground flaxseed
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp organic creole seasoning
1/2 cup water
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 tsp fresh garlic, minced
Preheat oven to 400. Combine egg white, water and garlic in a bowl and set aside. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl. Stir well and set aside. Cut chicken into approximately 1 1/2 inch cubes. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Dip chicken in egg mixture, and then into dry mixture. Make sure the nuggets are well coated and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 min. Enjoy!
Looks delicious! And I love that yours girls have the same names as mine! =)
