Every kid loves chicken nuggets. Have yet to meet a kid who does not. I never tried making them at home, but I have to admit, they are as easy as reheating the frozen ones. Also a lot healthier, since we know the chicken that we are using and they are not fried.
Chicken breast tenders - 1 lb
Seasoned bread crumbs - 1 cup
Parmesan cheese - 1/4 cup (optional)
Eggs - 2
Salt - to taste
Pepper - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 to 2 tbsp
Clean and pat dry the chicken tenders. If you do not find tenders in your grocery store, just cut the chicken breasts lengthwise, into 1 inch thick tenders.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. In a plate, mix the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
Dip the tenders in the egg, remove and dip them in the bread crumbs. Coat well.
Take a griddle or a flat bottom pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Add the tenders and fry till crisp on one saide.
Turn and cook till crisp on the other side.
Chicken breast cooks really fast. 3 min on each side will cook the chicken through. If in doubt, just slit with a knife and check for doneness.
Else, bake in a preheated 400F oven for an additional 5 to 6 min.
I served the tenders with corn. I just sauteed frozen corn with a dab of butter, salt and pepper till soft.
