Being a mother to the world’s pickiest eater, each day is a struggle making sure my son is receiving proper nutrition. For this very reason, I try my best to create well-balanced and appetizing meals; after all, I want my son to enjoy his food while staying healthy. One of my son’s favorite meals includes chicken nuggets. Because I don’t want to fill his belly with processed foods, I’ve found a great alternative – Easy Homemade Baked Chicken Nuggets. Made with just 3 ingredients, you’ll love these tasty nuggets just as much as your kids.

Easy Homemade Baked Chicken Nuggets
Ingredients:
– 1 pound of chicken
– 2 eggs
– 1 1/2 cup bread crumbs (my favorite is garlic and herb seasoned bread crumbs)
Instructions:
1. Cube raw chicken.
2. Place beaten eggs and bread crumbs in two separate bowls.
3. Dip individual pieces of chicken first in the egg mixture and then bread crumbs.
4. Arrange nuggets on a baking sheet.
5. Bake nuggets at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes (or until meat is no longer pink). Be sure to flip nuggets half way through baking process. Feeds 4-6 people.
6. Baked nuggets can be stored in the freezer and reheated at a later time.
7. Pair these Easy Homemade Baked Chicken Nuggets with Alexia Smart Classics Roasted Crinkle Cut Fries with Sea Salt.
Eating Alexia Crinkle Cut Fries alongside of these nuggets provides the perfect all-natural side for a well-balanced meal. At only 100 calories per serving, Alexia Smart Classics Roasted Crinkle Cut Fries are 98% fat-free and made from US grown Yukon select potatoes. Ready straight from your oven, these authentic roasted fries come in three different varieties – straight-cut fries, crinkle-cut fries and tri-cut potatoes.
As you can see, even the pickiest of eaters (my son) loves his Alexia Crinkle Cut fries. As a mother, I don’t have to feel guilty feeding him fries knowing that they are natural and don’t contain any trans fat. Not to mention, these delicious fries are enjoyed by the entire family. Easy Homemade Baked Chicken Nuggets have never tasted better than alongside Alexia Smart Classics Roasted Crinkle Cut Fries with Sea Salt.

My kids are so picky when it comes to me making them nuggets! They need the perfect dipping sauce to get past their taste buds!
Homemade chicken nuggets are the best, especially when you pair them with French fries.
Yum! My daughter would definitely love these. And they look easy enough for even me to make! Yay!
