Here is an alternative to store bought chicken nuggets. It is a recipe that my daughter enjoys helping us prepare!

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED:

  • Olive oil or coconut oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast cut into 1-inch chunks
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup Panko crumbs whole wheat
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, optional

WHAT TO DO:

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

2. Season uncooked chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.

3. In a large bowl, combine Panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, and paprika.

4. Working in batches, dip uncooked chicken into flour, next egg, and then in the Panko mixture, pressing to coat.

5. Add chicken to the skillet (*start with a few until you have the cooking down) and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes or until cooked all the way through. Toss frequently or turn.

6. Serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan and parsley, if desired. This recipe goes great with a vegetable of choice and even a little macaroni and cheese for a child.

7. Enjoy!

Chicken Quesadillas – Made Your Way

Here is a lunch or dinner option for the entire family. I like this option because you can add few ingredients to a quesadilla for picky eaters (chicken and a little cheese), to sneaking in a few veggies for your kiddos, to an array of veggies added. I often will make these near the end of the week so that I can use up excess ingredients that would go perfect in the quesadilla. Also, instead of a whole wheat soft taco, you can use the same ingredients and place over sautéed spinach.

WHAT YOU NEED:
– Cooked chicken, shredded
– Mushrooms, chopped
– Peppers, chopped (*use whatever you have available)
– Spinach, sautéed (*easier to sneak in the added nutrition for the kids)
– Cherry Tomatoes, sliced
– Whole wheat soft taco

I sautéed the spinach first then proceeded to place a soft taco in the frying pan; layer half of the taco with your ingredients. After a couple minutes or until the ingredients are heated to your liking then fold over the soft taco and you are ready to serve with a side of veggies and a little fruit.

My daughter loves these and it is easy for her to help me make!
