Subject: This is awesome...a recipe for chicken nuggets that are GOOD for you!
Yeah, you heard me...chicken nuggets that are actually GOOD for you.
And I'll be honest with you...I used
to eat McNuggets by the truckload when I was a kid.
I'd throw down a full 20 pack without even trying. Of course, that
all came to a screeching
halt when I found out what was actually in them later in life...(I
don't think chicken is even
at the top of the list).
Anyway, my buddy the "Muscle Cook"
Dave Ruel has a recipe for chicken nuggets that I
think you're going to like. It makes 6 Servings (or 1 serving for
me)....
----------------------------
Ingredients
- 3 x 6oz boneless, skinless chicken
breasts
- 1/4 cup oat bran
- 1/4 cup of wheat germ
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup ground almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- Garlic powder (pinch)
- 1/2 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 large egg white
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F. Prepare
baking sheet by lining with parchment paper
or coating lightly with best-quality olive oil.
2. Cut chicken breasts into nugget-sized pieces, about 1.5 inches
square. Set aside.
3. Next, combine all dry ingredients in a large container with a tightly
fitting lid. Shake
well. This is your coating mixture.
4. Combine water and egg in a medium bowl. Dip each piece in the water/egg-white
mixture. Then dip each piece in the coating mixture. Make sure each
piece is well coated.
5. Place on the baking sheet. When all of your chicken has been coated
and your baking
sheet is full, place in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or
until golden.
