Chicken Nuggets
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil (for pan)
- 2 boneless, skinless organic chicken breasts (about 1–1/4 pounds)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 whole wheat baguette, (14-18” in length) cut into thin slices, toasted and then ground into a meal
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Reggiano
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Honey Carrots
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4” slices
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Chicken Nuggets
- Heat oven to 375 degrees
- Lightly coat a cookie sheet with the olive oil.
- Cut the chicken into small even cubes. One breast should yield 12 pieces, and the cubes should be similar in size for even cooking.
- Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper
- In a small bowl, whisk together the water and egg.
- In a medium dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, oregano, and cayenne pepper.
- Using a fork or chopsticks, one piece at a time, dip the chicken into the egg mix and then roll into the crumb mix, making sure the chicken is evenly coated. Lay the chicken onto the baking dish/cookie sheet.
- Repeat with the other pieces of chicken, making sure that the baking sheet is not overly crowded.
- Place in the oven for 15 minutes with the carrots (see below) until the chicken is no longer pink on the inside and the carrots are tender.
Honey Carrots
- In a small bowl combine the carrots, olive oil, honey, Herbes, and salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Arrange the carrots on the baking dish next to the chicken nuggets.
- Place into the preheated oven and cook with chicken until tender.
