Sometimes we crave for some snacks. Most of us (including myself) will not settle for a healthy fruit salad or sticks of cucumbers. We want a real snack that makes us happy.
Unfortunately the snacks we are craving for have a lot of added sugars and fats. So the cravings stays. While working or for example reading a good book the only thing on your mind is eating a tasteful snack. A snack with a lot of satisfaction!
I am always on the search for good and much more healthy recipes for my craving moments. I saw this recipe for baked chicken nuggets and thought this is what I need to make. To make it a whole meal just add some roasted potatoes and veggies to it such as roasted broccoli. Absolutely yummy yummy, can you already feel it in your tummy?
So here’s my recipe for a healthy baked chicken nuggets:

1 kilo or 2.2. lbs. chicken thy filets
250 grams or 0.55 lbs. flour

- In a bowl add 3 spoons of the flour mixture. (Make sure you keep the flour mixture clean, you can use it again when you have some left).
- Put the eggs , flour and baking pan next to each other
- Take a piece of chicken, dip it in the egg then in the flour. Then carefully put it in the pan
- Put the pan in the oven en gently turn the chicken after 15 minutes. The chicken should be somewhat baked now.

- Now check if the chicken is ready
- If the chicken is ready but the crust is not golden brown just turn up the oven for a few minutes. NB: not too long or your nuggets will turn out dry!
