Every kid loves chicken nuggets...just don't tell them what's hidden inside!

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 Cup Flaxseed Meal
  • 1 Tbsp Grate Parmesan
  • 1/2 Tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Cup Broccoli Puree (spinach or sweet potato)
  • 1 Whole Egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1 Lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

Directions

  • In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, flaxseed meal, Parmesan, paprika, garlic and onion powder on the paper or foil and mix well with your fingers.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix the vegetable puree and and egg with a fork and set the bowl next to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Sprinkle the chicken chunks with the salt. Dip the chunks into the egg mixture and then toss them in the breadcrumbs until completely coated.
  • Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the oil. Place the chicken nuggets in the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to crowd the pan, and cook until crisp and golden on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Then turn and cook until the chicken is cooked through, golden brown and crisp all over, 4 to 5 minutes longer. (Cut through a piece to check that it's cooked through.) Serve warm.
