Homemade Chicken Nuggets

These chicken nuggets are DELICIOUS!! I cannot emphasize that enough! All of my kids love them, and my husband and I do too!

They are perfect for freezing and keeping in a freezer bag or container, and can easily be reheated in the oven when you are ready to enjoy them.

Oftentimes store bought chicken nuggets have some ingredients that are not the best. But the better choice options for chicken nuggets are pricey! These are easy to make, you can eliminate the not so great ingredients, and they are affordable!

Homemade Chicken Nuggets Recipe:

Combine in food processor

-1/3 C bread crumbs (I like using seasoned bread crumbs for extra flavor)

-3 T milk

-desired seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper etc.)

-1 lb cooked shredded chicken

Once combined form into chicken nuggets and dip in egg then breadcrumbs. If you'd like to substitute the egg for melted butter you can do that as well.

Place on greased baking sheet. Rub top of chicken nuggets with melted butter. Bake in oven at 375 degrees F for 8 minutes.

Take them out of the oven, flip them over, rub the other side with melted butter, and return to the oven to bake for 8 more minutes.

Enjoy!

I like to double this recipe so that I can freeze them to use throughout the next little while for an easy lunch or dinner. If you want to freeze them put them on a plate or baking sheet and flash freeze them for 15 minutes. Then place in a freezer bag or container for longer freezer storage. To reheat just bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes flipping halfway through.
