Well, I knew there had to be a better way to make chicken
nuggets and fries that didn’t take a ton of extra time and tasted MUCH better
than that frozen junk. Now, as a
disclaimer, I am not against a parent feeding their child stuff from the freezer
section. I was guilty of doing it for
over 4 years. But, I will tell you,
this only took an extra 20 minutes or so to throw together. And the best part… I could use the leftover
chicken nuggets on my salad for the next couple of days. SCORE!
Ingredients:
1.5lbs Chicken (I used Tenderloins)
2 Eggs
¾ C Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs
¼ C Parmesan Cheese
½ tbsp. Paprika
Salt
Pepper
2 Potatoes (I used Russets)
¼ C Extra Virgin Olive Oil
I started with my fries because I like crunchy fries. I knew they needed more time to bake than the
chicken did.
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees.

Put into bowl and toss with olive oil. Sprinkle with desired about of sea salt and
pepper.

paper, and place in the oven.
1.
Mix all dry ingredients in bowl (bread crumbs, parmesan
cheese, paprika, salt and pepper), set aside.
2.
Break eggs into a separate bowl, whisk them and
set aside.
3.
Cut up chicken in desired size (I used 2” pieces).
4.
Line pan with parchment paper, spray with olive
oil.
5.
Dip each piece of chicken in egg and then the bread
crumbs (making sure to coat the entire piece of chicken). Place on the pan. Complete this with all the chicken.
6.
Put in oven for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken
is done.
For you "Fix-ers", this recipe would be 1 red for the chicken and 1 yellow for the fries. Enjoy!!
