Chicken Nuggets & Chips

This is my most favorite of dinners. Fast, easy and very very yummy. Best of all it is preservative free and cheaper than bought chicken nuggets!

I hate those bought chicken nuggets. They are full of unhealthy fillers and rubbish. These nuggets are by far the nicest you will ever have and contrary to what you may think are really very quick and easy to make. Serve these with my fast to make home made chips that are nicer and healthier than those bought ones and steamed seasonal vegetables.

For me to prepare this dinner from start to the time I get the chips in the oven it is only 25 minutes. And yes I have cleaned up as well!

I use peanut oil to cook these as I love the flavor.  You could use Sunflower Oil if your prefer. I don't use Blended Vegetable Oil as I have no idea what they really put in it.

This recipe will feed 4 hungry people and will be a winner for all the family particularly the kids.

Ingredients:
500g of chicken breast fillets
2 eggs
2 cups of fresh bread crumbs (but if you don't have use the packaged)
1/2 cup plain flour
1 tsp mixed herbs (optional)
Peanut or Sunflower Oil

Method:

1. Peel and prepare your chips as per steps 1-2 in my Chunky Chips recipe
2. On a bread and butter plate place the plain flour
3. On a bread and butter plate lightly beat the eggs and add a dash of milk
4. In a bowl add the fresh bread crumbs and mix in the mixed herbs
5. Assemble these in the order given above on the bench with an empty dinner plate last
6. Now take your chicken breasts and cut them into 2-3cm chunks
7. Dip each into the flour, then egg then breadcrumbs then place on empty plate
8. Do this until all chicken pieces are coated
9. Place the plate of nuggets into the fridge while your chips cook.
10. Just before the chips are cooked heat a good slug of  peanut oil in a large fry pan for shallow frying
11. Heat the oil on a moderate heat until very hot but not smoking
12. Cook the nuggets quickly. If they are burning turn the heat down slightly.
13. Transfer the nuggets to an oven tray. Turn off the oven and place in the oven with the chips

Serve these with your home made chips and steamed seasonal vegetables.

I love to sprinkle my nuggets with my Sweet Chilli Sauce. You could also squeeze some lemon juice over them.

Tip:  Don't throw out any excess egg mixture. Tip into the pan when your nuggets are cooked and serve with your meal.
