Mommys (gasp!) Whole Grain Crunchy Chicken Nuggets
- 3 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast, Cut Into Bite Size Chunks
- 1/4 cups Milk
- 2 dashes Brown Or Honey Mustard
- 1 dash Hot Sauce
- 1/4 cups Wheat Germ
- 1/4 cups Whole Wheat Unbleached White Flour (King Arthur Makes It, It Is Fabulous)
- 1 teaspoon Each Salt, Ground Pepper, Dry Yellow Mustard, Onion Powder And Paprika
- 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Or A Few Hearty Drizzles
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees then set yourself up an assembly line starting with the chunked chicken, a pie plate for the liquid stuff, a dinner plate for the dry stuff, a mixing bowl and a greased cookie sheet at the end.
- Combine the milk, mustard and hot sauce and whisk smooth in the first pie plate.
- On the second dish, combine the wheat germ, flour and spices.
- Dunk chicken chunks in milk mixture, then coat in flour mixture.
- Place in bowl and once they are all in there, shake them around while drizzling the olive oil on top, making sure they all get a little on there (this is how they get all nice and crispy!)
- Once thoroughly coated place on a cookie sheet, making sure they dont touch so they wont stick together.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, watching them for doneness (my oven can take a while, so be sure to check in on those little guys if you have a better oven than me).
- Cool and serve with whatever dipping sauce your kids prefer!
- Great with a side of my stovetop mac n cheese and some steamed veggies.
