Try this healthy twist on your kid’s favorite meal – chicken nuggets! By adding a package of California Blend veggies and panko bread crumbs instead of fried breading, your kids will enjoy the same taste in a healthier version! ***Note: These freeze SO well!
Ingredients
- 1 (14 oz.) package California Blend Veggies, thawed
- • 1 egg
- • 1/2 lb. ground chicken
- • 1 tsp. onion salt
- • 2 c. panko bread crumbs
- • Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Put the veggies and egg in a blender.
- Blend until pureed.
- Pour puree into a large bowl.
- Add the ground chicken and onion salt.
- Mix together with a fork until well mixed.
- On a large cutting board, spread a thin layer of the panko crumbs, salt and pepper them lightly.
- Spread chicken mixture on top of the crumb mixture until it’s about 1/2″ thick. Sprinkle more panko crumbs, salt, and pepper on top of the chicken mixture.
- Use a cookie cutter (or just a knife) to cut the chicken into shapes (Shapes are cute, but I'm normally in a hurry and just cut the slab into squares)
- Transfer to a cookie sheet which has been lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray
- Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 14-16 minutes, or just until the chicken is cooked through.
