Ah, chicken nuggets. So many memories.
When my parents used to go out for date night, leaving one of my older sisters (and later on, me) in charge, we would splurge on a dinner of chicken nuggets and mac ‘n cheese in front of the TV.
When I used to work as a nanny (for 4 girls under the age of 9), I would pull out chicken nuggets for dinner and turn on Jimmy Neutron when the girls were exhausted and their parents were going to be home late. It’s a proven fact that those little golden bites are a babysitter’s best friend.
Now, when I want the oven on to heat the apartment and am craving some comfort food, it’s chicken nuggets to the rescue once again. This version, however, boasts a better ingredient list and more lasting fullness.
Serve with a mustard dip (honey, mustard, salt and pepper whisked together) and a big salad and you’ve got a tasty, giddy, back-to-your-babysitting/babysat days dinner.

Yum – these look good.
I don’t remember having chicken nuggets growing up and I know that my boys first experiences with nuggets came from McDonalds so…..
I don’t make them at home often but these look really good.
These look great! Thanks for the great idea 🙂 I am sure I will makes some version of this soon!
