Hello all you Mums trying to please your children!
I know, I've been there..so much work, so much pressure and you still have to feed the family with something good and hearty that will give them what they need in goodness and nutrients and feed their wants and bellies!
Hay, Ho! Chicken Nuggets!.... But aren't they bad for you?
No, they are not if they are home-made!
If you can manage it take the chicken breast off the bone or buy it already off the bone (it is more expensive) and chop up adding the flavour and seasoning you are accustomed to. Try to keep the salt content down as Too Much Salt is bad for everyone!(herbs and spices can compensate for the lack of salt).
Once the chicken breast is either chopped up or sliced....flour it, egg it, breadcrumb it and deep fry it at 180*C until golden brown.
If the chicken is fresh you can freeze them so you have them handy for another day when you are too busy. If you have some chicken in the freezer and you make up the chicken nuggets then you must cook them once the chicken is defrosted. You cannot refreeze defrosted raw chicken!
They are so much more delicious than shop bought but I know everyone's circumstances are different...but please try this, even if it is with cooked chicken from yesterday or from the supermarket it is still better than a mince you have no idea about.
Please give it a go..you will love it, your kids and family will love you for it!
Your cooking companion. Isabelle
