Healthy Chicken Nuggets

Whenever my house mates and I are hungover we go through the same ritual at about 12 in the afternoon. We collectively lie on the sofas and begin listing all the unhealthy fatty foods that would cure our hangovers nicely. Pizza, bacon sarnies, full fat coke...about 2 minutes in someone always pipes up with 'mcdonalds' to which someone else responds with 'oh my god! Lets go to the drive thru!' This would be a brilliant idea if the designated driver wasn't probably still over the limit...so, save the calories, fat and potential criminal record and make these healthy chicken nuggets instead!




Healthy Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients: (serves 2)

  • 25g cornflakes
  • 15g all bran 
  • 20g krackawheat crackers 
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 2 chicken breasts 

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius and line a baking tray with baking paper. 
  • Pour the cornflakes, all bran and crackers into a large freezer bag. Squeeze the air out and tie in a loose knot. Use a rolling pin to break up the ingredients into a fine dust. Do this by beating the bag gently with the rolling pin, and rolling the rolling pin firmly over the bag multiple times. It is important to break everything up so that it is very fine- it took us a good 5 minutes to get it just right. Add in some salt and pepper to season and the garlic and shake up.
  • Pour the nugget mix onto a plate. Break the egg into a bowl and beat.
  • Chop up the chicken into nugget sized chunks. Take each chunk and dip it into the egg first, then roll in the nugget mix until fully coated. 
  • Place each nugget onto the baking tray then bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. 
  • Serve with lots of ketchup and bbq sauce!
