If I serve up a chicken dinner for the kids, then I know I’m guaranteed that they will eat it – I swear they will grow feathers one of these days!!! Thanks to their love of this all things chicken, they are quite the critic when it comes to chicken nuggets but thankfully these baked crunchy Chicken Nuggets are up to their very high standards!
These oven baked crunchy Chicken Nuggets are perfect for little tummies. They have a yummy crunchy cheesy coating, are the perfect size for small hands and can be dipped in your kids favourite sauce – what more could you want?! Well, they are also super easy to make, freezer friendly and can be made using a Thermomix too – winning!
If you really wanted to squeeze some veggies into these crunchy Chicken Nuggets, I would try adding a grated zucchini or carrot to the mixture. Otherwise you might want to try my Chicken, Zucchini and Quinoa Nuggets recipe. If your kids are mad for chicken too, I’d also suggest checking out this collection of Family Chicken Dinner recipes.
