Breaded chicken is a family favourite, but the supermarket versions are full of colourings and additives. Here's how to create your own fresh chicken nuggets!
Ingredients:
Pack 4 chicken fillets
2x slices wholemeal or white bread (the more fibre the better)
2x eggs
2-3 tablespoons plain flour
Method:
Blitz the bread in a food processor and reduce it to breadcrumbs. Set them out in one bowl. Break the eggs and beat them in a second bowl. Put the flour in a third bowl.
Cover the chicken with greaseproof paper and flatten out with a rolling pin. Then cut into chunks as you wish.
Heat olive oil or a good sunflower oil in a frying pan.
Dip the chicken in the flour, then the egg then the breadcrumbs. Fry gently in the pan until golden brown, then turn over. Fry in batches and keep on a plate covered with kitchen roll to drain off excess oil.
Serve with homecooked wedges and peas or sweetcorn.
It is possible to oven cook these chicken nuggets which would probably take 20-30 minutes in a medium oven after the flour, egg and breadcrumbs.
