Baked chicken nuggets
- Age: 18–24 months (Toddler meals)
- Texture: Finger food
- Prep: 12 min
- Cook: 18 min
- Makes: 2 portions
Ingredients
- 2 chicken thighs, boneless, in pieces
- 4 tbsp plain flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 6 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp mild paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Contains: Wheat, Egg
Method
- Dip the chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs mixed with paprika.
- Lay on an oiled tray and bake at 200 °C for 18 minutes, turning once, until golden and cooked through.
- Cool; cut one open to check.
