As part of my campaign – Just say NO to nuggets! – I wanted to share with you some of my favourite ‘nugget’ recipes from some of my favourite blogs!
Vegie Smugglers – Baked Chicken Nuggets
Wendy from Vegie Smugglers makes these yummy nuggets by marinating them first and then tossing in the crumb mixture and baking in a hot oven. She serves them up with a pumpkin dip and spinach to make a wrap!
Help! Mom’s on a Health Kick – Oat and Basil Chicken Nuggets
Yani from Help! Mom’s on a Health Kick has some fantastic recipes to share. This chicken nugget recipe is oven baked and uses oats as a crumb with loads of flavour from basil and garlic.
Queen of Quinoa – Gluten-free Popcorn Fried Chicken
Alyssa from Queen of Quinoa makes a home-made version of ‘popcorn’ chicken. This oven-baked recipe uses cornflakes and coconut as a crumb and paprika and chilli for flavour.
Quirky Cooking – Healthy Fried Chicken Strips
Jo from Quirky Cooking is well-known for her super-healthy recipes! This healthy southern fried chicken recipe is dairy free and gluten-free!
Health Food Lover – Buckwheat Crusted Cajun Style Chicken
I couldn’t resist adding this one in from Michelle at Health Food Lover. It’s grown up chicken nuggets for mums! Crusted in buckwheat flour and using spicy cajun flavours, this is a great recipe for when you feel like something a little more exotic!
I hope you enjoy these recipes. Thank you to all the wonderful foodie bloggers for sharing their amazing recipes with us!
Remember – Just say NO to nuggets!
Once again – awesome!
I will be whipping some of these wonders up 😉
Unfortunately my just 7 yr old is starting to bore of my healthy attitude to REAL food and wanting to eat crap like his friends 🙁
I got away with it for many years – well since I finished breastfeeding him at 2 but now he is getting a bit picky.
Will have to be a bit more creative in my meals I suppose and chicken nuggets are a great way to mainstream.
Maybe your next topic could be say no to ‘conventional’ tomato sauce!
Even the organic stuff is full of sugar 🙁
Got any good and kid friendly recipes to thermie up?
Peta – HealthOasis.me
Let me know how you go Peta and if he likes them! I make the thermy tomato sauce – but my kids have never much liked tomato sauce!
Okay Sonia…you have put the cahllenge out there…now I’m going to have to throw my nuggets into the ring!
Some friday nights we have ‘nuggets’ which are just chunks of chicken breast rolled in whole egg mayo and crumbed with fresh breadcrumbs and baked, served with salad and maybe pesto pasta. simple and easy 🙂 PS ……….The following link mixes your homemade nugget crusade with your homemade taco mix (and its yum) http://www.cinnamonspiceandeverythingnice.com/cheesy-taco-chicken-tenders/
Thanks Lonni – that sounds amazing!!!
i love these. they are all quite simple and easy. i think i’ll have to make the vegie smuggler option though, i think the sunflower/pumpkin seed addition sounds brilliant.
Let us know how you go Jen! 🙂
