Guys.

Seriously. I made some magic happen in the kitchen.

May I present to you...homemade..HEALTHY..chicken "Mc"nuggets!!

I'll behonest, these were totally a mistake.

I decided it was time to make some homemade nuggets, and trying to remember a recipe that I LOVE, I messed up. Basically, I boiled the chicken, and then shredded it and then was like. Crap. I didn't mean to do that.

Determined to not give up I came up with a solution, and after a few different tweaks got them right. They look JUST enough like the real deal that your kids won't be like "yah, theser are not chicken nuggets, nice try" and the fact that it's not a full piece of chicken (like if you just cut it up in to chunks) makes it even more mcnuggety.

How to do it is pretty simple.

1.) boil chicken

2.) shred chicken

3.) in bowl, mix chicken, seasonings (your choise..i did salt pepper and a tad of garlic salt)

4.) add mayonaise (you could also try ranch dressing if your kids like it. I've done that before and love it but my kids don't). add just enough that the mixture isn't dry.

5.) scoop out some chicken mix and roll and then flatten into mcnugget shape

6.) dip in flour, then an egg wash, and then either bread crumbs or panko

7.) cook at 325 until they get nice and crispy

8.) enjoy!
