For whatever reason, the chances of my children eating their food has a direct correlation to how the food looks and how easy it is to pick up. Thus, our first Dunkin' Dinner - featuring my first attempt at chicken nuggets (surprisingly easy, quick, tasty and fun to pick up and toss down the pie hole).
Chicken O'Nuggets (yes, O' instead of Mc for this house...)
The recipe's from this month's Family Circle (which Maggie and I mistakenly swiped from Freddie's last week - but that's another story...)
1 1/2 pounds of chicken breast, cut into nugget-size pieces
1/3 cup light mayo
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1 cup dried bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper
Mix the mayo and mustard together.
Mix the bread crumbs, garlic powder and thyme (and S&P) together in a pie pan.
Heat oven to broil.
Split the mustard mixture in half. Set half aside for dipping.
Brush chicken nuggets with mustard mixture.
Toss them into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
Put them on a cookie sheet and broil for about 10 minutes - turning them over halfway through.
Ta-da! EAT!
The dunkin' dinner also featured cut-up veggies (The girls are deep into a love affair with cucumbers and have a long-standing relationship with grape tomatoes. I also bought some petite-hand-sized sweet peppers of various colors at Costco which are going over well.) And, there was also French bread to dip in olive oil/balsamic vinegar.
A little salad dressing, a little ketchup, and we're good to go.
