Deceptively Delicious Chicken Nuggets (With Veggie Puree) image

I saw this on Oprah - I haven't tried them yet, but I was intrigued and wanted to save it here. From the book "Deceptively Delicious" by Jessica Seinfeld Preparation time does not include puree making time.

Categories     Chicken Breast

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.

These nuggets are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Add different vegetables to the puree, or change the seasonings to suit your taste.

I love that these nuggets are baked instead of fried. It makes them a healthier option, and they're still just as delicious.

These nuggets are a bit more time-consuming to make than regular chicken nuggets, but they're definitely worth the extra effort.

These nuggets are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner, and this is a great way to use them up.

The veggie puree was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some garlic and onion powder to give it more flavor.

I was skeptical about the veggie puree at first, but it actually worked really well. It added a subtle sweetness and moisture to the nuggets.
