Homemade Chicken Nuggets

A favourite time of the month for me, for my blog and eating as well. I always enjoy making my chosen food. It all feels very “Secret Santa” to me which of course reminds me of Christmas, and that my friends is always a good thing. So this month I was lucky to receive It’s Yummy to My Tummy, and these Chicken Nuggets certainly were exactly that. In fact, my son asked when we are having them again. Like the very next day. Like most parents we have all made a McDonald’s run for the of so good chicken nuggets. These are a nice healthier version, no deep-frying and we all know what is inside of these. Surprisingly, they came together quite quickly. We had some french fries, and cold salads with them for a lovely very kid friendly meal.

• 1 lb. ground chicken
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
• pinch of salt and pepper
• Coating :
• 3/4 cups bread crumbs
• 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper

1. Mix together first 4 ingredients.

2. In separate bowl mix together coating ingredients.

3. Gather 1 Tbsp of chicken mixture and plop into crumbs. Use 2 forks to flatten and flip so that both sides are evenly coated. Place on a greased cookie sheet and continue until all chicken and coating have been used up. Spray chicken nuggets with cooking spray (optional).

4. Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees, flipping once, half way through.

5. Eat and enjoy!
