My son love chicken nuggets! I have stopped buying them though, because of all the processed ingredients added to them. I figured why not try to create a clean version instead of giving them up completely. They are a great finger food and the whole family can enjoy them. These were really good and Jeremiah loved them and so did I.

Clean Chicken Nuggets (recipe adapted from The Eat-Clean Diet)

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup  oat bran cereal
  • 1 Tbsp  coarsely ground flaxseed
  •  ½ tsp sea salt
  •  ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 Tbsp Mrs. Dash Tomato Basil Garlic Seasoning Blend
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp parsely
  •  1 large egg, lightly beaten
  •  Olive oil spray

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F . Prepare baking sheet by lining with parchment paper or coating lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
  2. Add all seasonings (except cumin,parsley and oat bran) to ground chicken and form into nugget-sized pieces, about 1½ inches square. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl add parsley and cumin to oat bran. This is your coating mixture.
  4. Mix egg in a medium bowl. Dip each piece in the egg 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, spray top of nuggets with olive oil and place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Flip at 10 minutes.photo-251

We paired the nuggets with baked potato fries and a side salad. I used all-natural bbq sauce from Trader Joes and Jeremiah had ketchup:)
