I generally don’t share my easiest, everyday recipes on this blog as I think they are just too straightforward. But then I read similar recipes on other sites and think ‘What a great idea. Why didn’t I think of that?’
So, I thought I’d share one of my favourites – easy, egg free chicken nuggets. My son loooves chicken nuggets but I hate the low chicken content in a lot of them and how so many have egg in or also garlic.
Before J came along I would use the classic flour, egg, breadcrumbs routine but now I realise it really isn’t necessary. These stick really well, are less wasteful and cheaper. I usually use cornflakes but you can easily substitute for rice krispies or breadcrumbs if you want to.
Ingredients
Chicken breast
Flour
Cornflakes
Method
Mix flour with water until it forms a thick wallpaper paste consistency. Crush cornflakes in a plastic bag.
Cut chicken into bitesize pieces. Dip in flour mixture and drop into cornflakes. Shake bag until each piece is coated and lay them on a baking tray.
Bake at 200c for 15mins.
These look delicious, my son loves chicken nuggets so these are a much healthier alternative.
Thanks so much for sharing on #toddlerapprovedtuesday x
They are so easy as well and can easily be frozen.
Great recipe, my boys will love these #sharewithme xx
Thanks, they’re definitely a hit with little ones!
Wow they look amazing, will be making them x
They’re sooo easy, I pretty much always have a batch in the fridge or freezer.
They look great! I love recipes like this. My kids like chicken nuggets dipped in pesto and then bread crumbs…I always have breadcrumbs in the freezer since gluten-free bread is so expensive and Roo hates the crusts (which become breadcrumbs!). I hope you are feeling ok?
This is amazing I am definitely trying this because B is allergic to eggs. looks and sounds yummy. Thank you so much for linking up to Share With Me #sharewithme
Hope it goes well, it’s super easy!
fab idea for a tea time meal for my boys, thank you x
No problem. We eat so many of them!
