I am guilty of feeding LittleMan V fast food and store bought chicken nuggets. He absolutely likes them and if given a chance to eat nuggets everyday he would.
I have tried several recipes for a healthy chicken nuggets and V would either complain that it was not soft (not like the ones from McDo) or just didn’t taste good enough for him. It has been more than a month or two since I stopped buying frozen store bought nuggets and how he miss having them for breakfast or snack.
Last week I prepared healthy chicken nuggets for his after school snack and he easily ate 8 pieces in one sitting and LittleMiss enjoyed them as well!
While planning for his school lunch, he once again requested that I prepare Mama’s healthy chicken nuggets.

My son used to love McDo chicken nuggets…now he’s into KFC chicken popcorn which I try to limit once a week lol….thank you for sharing the recipe – love the plug in – I like to sneak in grated carrots to almost every child-friendly recipe
