Baked Chicken Nuggets

I have a four year old, so let’s face it. Over half of the things I make do NOT get the stamp of approval.

In fact, if I were to ever just ask the little guy what HE wanted to eat… The answer would ALWAYS be chicken nuggets.  I’m sure he would eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if we let him. Luckily his second favorite food is carrots, so I feel like less of a failure as a mom.

But after reading the ingredients on a package of those frozen dino shaped creations, I decided that  a homemade version would be a much wiser decision. Especially if he insists on eating them twice a week. (Sometimes more… shhhh… don’t tell!)

So here is what I came up with:

These are going in the kid pleasin’ hall of fame. My son loves them, and I feel like the hero for feeding him something that is just a tad bit healthier. (I said a tad…)

If you want to make a double batch and freeze some for later… follow these instructions:

Once you have dipped and placed your chicken onto your tray, put them in the freezer. Before baking.

Once they are good and frozen you can transfer them to labeled freezer bags. When you are ready to cook some up, simply cook according to the directions above.
