I'm terrible at keeping awesome recipes as secrets.... you know, the person at the party with the AWESOME dish but they won't share because it's a Family Secret....lame.
I'll share with you anything that works in this household! For years I couldn't find the toddler approved Chicken Nugget recipe. One that was Organic, NON- GMO, not full of sugar and didn't take hours to make. What's a mom to do other than create one?
Here's my creation! The most magical nuggets that will touch your taste buds. (Okay- so my 5 year old says that!)
Things you will need:
- An incredibly handsome, awesome husband to save time
- 3 TBSP organic coconut milk
- 3 large organic eggs
- 1 cup organic coconut flour <--- Which is high in fiber and GREAT for kids especially!
- 1 tsp organic pumpkin pie seasoning (I like Frontier)...You can even use a dash of Organic Red Ape cinnamon...
- 1 box Organic heritage NON GMO cereal
- Vitamix or meat tenderizer to crush cereal into powder
- 2 lbs (We like to make this for the whole week!) of organic thawed chicken
- a spray bottle of organic coconut oil
- Natural unbleached parchment paper
- 3 bowls for ingredients
- 2 plates, one for raw chicken and one for finished chicken
- Toaster oven will do! <---- we can't rave enough about that one!
Preheat oven the 375. Cook time is 30 minutes.
Step 1: Combine coconut flour & pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl. Place 1st in the assembly line.
Step 2: Combine Coconut milk, eggs and whisk together in a bowl. Place 2nd in the assembly line.
Step 3: Blend up the Heritage cereal in the Vitamix dry blade OR take something like a meat tenderizer and grind until it's a fine powder. (Hey- it worked for me until I owned that fancy gem!)
Step 4: Pour the cereal into a bowl. Place 3rd in the assembly line.
Step 5: Cut up the chicken into SMALL bite sized pieces.
Step 6: Roll the chicken into Bowl #1 (Flour)
Step 7: Dip it entirely into bowl #2 (Eggs and milk)
Step 8: Roll entirely into bowl #3 (Cereal flakes)
Step 9: Finish the entire batch of prepping. If you have a partner to help, as they finish 20 of them start cooking them for them!
Cover the pan with parchment paper. Spray the pan with coconut oil.
Cook for 30 minutes at 375. My kids like them crispy!
Dipping sauces you can use:
- Raw organic honey
- Organic BBQ (we make ours and store canned in mason jars!
- Organic Annie's mustard mixed with organic raw honey.. TADA honey mustard!
- Organic Ketchup (we make ours and store canned in mason jars as well!)
For storage:
We LOVE our food saver! It vacuums all the air out of the bags. We store them 20 at a time in the freezer for the remaining week!

Hey Tarah! I know this may be a silly question, but do you cook them before you freeze them?? This sounds like a GREAT idea to do for my boyfriend. He hates to cook, and buys fast food a lot. He isn't fully on the healthy eating train, like I am. I have made my own chicken fingers before but never thought to freeze them for later! Thanks :-)
