Chicken Nuggets for kids or adults

These chicken nuggets are healthy and kids love them.

What you need:
1 pound of chicken breasts cut up or you can use chicken tenders cut in half.
1 cup of Fiber One Original bran cereal
1 tsp. of dried basil leaves
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/4 C. skim milk
1 T. EVOO

Heat oven to 450. Spray bottom of a 9x13 pan with cooking spray - or you can coat it with a little EVOO.
Place cereal in a gallon zip lock bag and finely crush with a rolling pin or put the cereal in your food processor and finely crush it.
In a little bowl mix together cereal, basil, salt and pepper.
In a different shallow bowl, place milk.

Dip chicken pieces into milk then roll in the cereal mixture and place in your pan.

Drizzle EVOO over the chicken and bake uncovered for about 15 minutes. When juices run clear or chicken is no longer pink your chicken is ready to eat.

This is an easy and quick recipe and there is no guilt over feeding your kids chicken nuggets.

You can serve this with mashed cauliflower "potatoes".

Steam a head of cauliflower - and place in your food processor.
mix in a little salt, pepper, butter, and a couple tablespoons of skim milk and process until you get your desired consistency. You can use a little bit of instant potato flakes to improve the texture if you need.
Your kids may not even notice a difference!
