RECIPE: Chicken Nuggets

3:45pm Monday 5th January 2009 in Leisure

Put an end to fussy eating with these crispy oven-baked little morsels - a healthy alternative to junk food.

You will need:

• 225g white bread
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp Paprika
• 1 egg
• 125ml Milk
• 900g chicken, boneless

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6. Slice the bread, and toast until light brown. Break up into pieces, without taking off the crusts. Grind to fine crumbs in a food processor.

2. Add the garlic powder and paprika and process again. Place in a large plastic freezer bag or tip into a deep tray.

3. Beat the egg in a large bowl with the milk, and add the chicken pieces, in batches if necessary. Drain the chicken from the egg mixture, and toss in the breadcrumbs - coating the crumbs evenly around each nugget.

4. Arrange the crumbed chicken on a lightly greased baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes until golden and cooked through. Serve straight away, accompanied with a tomato relish.
