No ordinary nugget


Nuggets, one of the forbidden foods of a dieter, dietitian, health nut, purist, or whatever you'd call someone who's watching what they eat for whatever reason they might choose! I must give special thanks to a friend, who will remain anonymous (you know who you are!). This friend made dinner for me and my children one night. She made turkey nuggets. The kids loved them, so about a year later, I decided to make them! Right, I know...it only took me that long to make something the kids liked that was easy!? I must preface the rest of this with "after last nights chicken nuggets, I never want to willingly eat frozen-processed-even minimally processed-chicken nuggets ever again!" So last night, I took some frozen rosemary olive oil bread out of the freezer, thawed it then threw it in the food processor to make bread crumbs. Then I cubed some chicken breast meat then coated it with the bread crumbs. I Sprayed a baking sheet with some oil, then threw them in the oven at 400 degrees, turned them over after 20 minutes then let them bake a little longer on that side. I made some brown wild rice and green beans with cranberry sauce on the side. MmmMmmmMMMM! I was so very glad we had leftovers so I could have some for lunch today. If you ever get the chance, try it...you may never want to see the frozen chicken section ever again!
