One of Brinley's favorite foods of all time is McDonald chicken nuggets. I have always been wearing about feeding her those but she loves them so much. Lately I have been on a quest to find something she loves just as much only 100% healthier. I stumbled across a recipe for veggie chicken nuggests. I have changed it a lot so here is my take on it.
What you need:
1 lb white meat organic chicken breasts 1T. soy sauce
2 large carrots 1 T. garlic powder
1 stalk celery 1 egg
1 red pepper 1/2 C. flour
1/4 C. cabbage pepper to taste
1/2 C. green beans
1/2 C. broccoli
1 C. Panko bread crumbs
2 T. olive oil
Preheat oven to 350. Take all of the veggies and roughly chop. Throw them in a big pot and steam till very tender. After they are steamed take them and place in a food processor along with the chicken breasts. (Chop up the chicken breasts into 1 inch pieces prior) Blend on high till all of the veggies and chicken are ground up. It should look like ground meat at this point and the veggies should almost be in a paste consistency. Pulse a few more times and incorporate the pepper, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Scoop out mixture in 1 inch balls. Roll in flour, then roll in egg mixture, and then lightly roll in Panko bread crumbs. Place on olive oiled cookie sheet. Cook for 20 minutes at 350. I normally serve it with a homeade BBQ sauce and sweat potato
Brinley loves them now. It took a few times for her to get used to them but now she prefers these over McDonalds...thankfully. I normally also make sweet potato fries to go with this. Recipe to come.
