Homemade Chicken Nuggets

My sister in law created a family cook book for the family and it has great recipes in it. I think everything in it is made from scratch which ups the yumminess a bazillion points! I saw this recipe when I was planning my meals for two weeks and I just had to try them.

Chicken Nuggets

Makes 4 servings

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 cup crushed corn flakes

1/4 cups melted butter

Using a sharp knife or pair of kitchen scissors cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch squares. Set aside. In a plastic bag combine flour, salt and pepper. Shake to mix. Set aside. In a second plastic bag, place crushed corn flakes. Add chicken pieces to flour mixture and shake till each piece is completely coated. Dip floured chicken in melted butter and place in second plastic bag with corn flakes. Shake to coat. When chicken is covered with corn flakes place on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

*Variations: Use italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt instead of flour mixture above. Dip in spaghetti sauce. Or, use ground ginger, garlic, sesame seeds and salt instead of the flour mixture above and dip in teriyaki sauce.

These are seriously the best! They're made out of real, low fat chicken as opposed to whatever they use to make chicken nuggets at McD's or Wendy's. I think I might use egg instead of the butter next time to see which one makes the corn flakes stick better and eggs are less fattening than butter. :) ENJOY!
