My "better than yours are" chicken nuggets

Ingredients:

5 chicken breasts cut into "nugget" size pieces. Trim any fat or tendons off so you don't get any icky parts.

1 egg

1 cup of milk

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1 tbsp honey

1 1/2 cups Italian bread crumbs

1 1/2 cups Frosted flakes or if you like some cheery rainbow of colors crunch berries, fruit loops, or apple jacks crushed.

1/2 cup flour

Oil for frying or Pam for spraying before baking

 

Directions:

Place chicken pieces in a large zip lock with all liquid ingredients and shake and squeeze until all the pieces are well covered. In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, flour, and crushed cereal. Dredge the battered chicken in the crumb mixture a few pieces at a time. Place on a cookie sheet to "dry" for 5-10 minutes. Spray with Pam or oil and bake for 30 minutes at 350. Or Pan fry or deep fry for a less healthy "fast food" version of these.

You could also change up the cereal for some other healthier sweet dry ingredient like day old banana or zucchini bread crumbs that are baked a little to dry them out.


Pair with some Ore Ida Waffle Fries that have been baked, or better yet some sweet potato waffle fries!
