I make my own chicken nuggets for my family!
Take two pounds of breast meat (salt and pepper it) pound it out a bit to flatten it.
Then cube it up into nugget size bites.
Dip nuggets in Parmesan cheese then egg yolk then Italian panko bread crumbs and then back at 375 for like 15 20 minutes, turn once during cooking.
They freeze up well and are a good quick meal to pull from the freezer. My 2 year old loves them! Plus I can use all organic materials.
That sounds great. Any other great ideas for kids food. Do you salt and pepper before you pound it out?

Just to add after they come out I put them on wax paper on a large cooking pan and let them freeze that way if you just throw them in a bag right of the oven into the freezer you will just have a chicken beach ball not individual nuggets.
As far other kid friendly recipes I usually go her, I am not sure what your daughter likes but there are tons of options in here and all are very healthy!

I do it after otherwise you end up with the seasoning on your pounding tool, LOL!
Basically don't go crazy pounding it out your nuggets should end up looking like Chick Fil A's nuggets. They are not going to be all round and perfect like McDonald's McNugets.

It's basically "creamed meat". It's horrendous. I want to ask my parents, WTF.Yeah, my Mom used to feed us Spam when I was a kid. Every time I demand to know why just laughs and says I used to love it.
Now as pay back I slip chucks of cat meat into her meals.
