Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs (or panko)
1/2 cup flax seed meal
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup sweet potatoes or 1 cup beet, puree
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or 1 lb chicken tenders, rinsed, dried and cut into small chunks
1/2 teaspoon salt
nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, flaxseed meal, Parmesan, paprika, garlic and onion powder on the paper or foil and mix well with your fingers.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix the vegetable puree and egg with a fork and set the bowl next to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Sprinkle the chicken chunks with the salt. Dip the chunks into the egg mixture and then toss them in the breadcrumbs until completely coated.
  • Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the oil.
  • Place the chicken nuggets in the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to crowd the pan, and cook until crisp and golden on one side, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Turn and cook until the chicken is cooked through, golden brown and crisp all over, 4 to 5 minutes longer. (Cut through a piece to check that it's cooked through.) Serve warm.
