One of the things our boys always want and miss is chicken nuggets. We went into our kitchen laboratory and came up with this fun way to make chicken nuggets with healthy ingredients so that their daydreams about nuggets could come true.
We like to keep a cooked batch in the freezer so that Uncle Andrew has something easy to heat up for the boys when he babysits. We love these with our Southwestern Pineapple Sauce.
INGREDIENTS
• 3 chicken breasts, deboned and skinned
• 2 C almond flour
• 2 Tbsp arrowroot powder
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp dry mustard
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• ¾ C olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS AND HOW KIDS CAN HELP
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Cut chicken into 1-inch by 1-inch chunks.
3. Mix flour, arrowroot powder, and spices together in bowl with a fork or whisk.
4. Pour olive oil into a separate bowl.
5. Dip each chicken piece in the oil and then roll in the flour mixture.
6. Place nuggets on baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes at 400 degrees, flipping halfway through.
7. When done, the crust will be golden brown and juices will run clear.
