Low Fat Chicken Nuggets

The secret to these chicken nuggets is that they're baked, not fried. Crispy on the outside yet succulent on the inside, these white meat chicken nuggets make a healthy fast-food alternative. Serve with ketchup, barbecue sauce or a fat free ranch dressing. Or simply combine a 1/4 cup of honey and a 1/4 cup of mustard for your very own honey-mustard sauce. They are great to keep in the freezer for nights when you don't feel like cooking

Ingredients


Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Prepare three bowls: one with flour and seasonings, one with egg and buttermilk stirred together, and one with crushed cornflakes.

Cut chicken breasts into 1 to 1 1/2-inch pieces.

Empty chicken pieces into bowl and roll in flour mixture. Then, piece by piece, and shaking off excess flour, dip the chicken into the milk mixture, then coat the pieces with cornflakes. Place chicken on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until golden, turning them halfway through. Serves 4.

I'm planning to make a big batch to freeze and I wanted to clarify. I'm assuming that you freeze them fully-cooked? How do you re-heat?

Thank you!

Quick and easy. I used Italian flavored bread crumbs because i didn't have any cornflakes and they were great.

We were watching a commercial last night for chicken nuggets and my wife commented on how good they looked so I found this recipe for supper tonight. Tasted great and the lower fat is a bonus. I did add 1/2 tsp of garlic powder to the crumb mixture though.

My husband loved them - I couldn't believe it - I mean I had made them really only for the kids!
