easy chicken nuggets
« on: May 02, 2010, 06:29:30 PM »
I cut one chicken breast into small pieces, dredged them in a mixture of 2 eggs and about 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Then, I put the chicken into a mixture of 1 cup soy flour with seasonings added (salt, pepper, parsley flakes, cayenne pepper). I then "fried" them in about 4 Tbsp of olive oil. DELICIOUS!!!

I told my 13 year old to come get some chicken nuggets and he loved them. I didn't tell him they were a healthy version and he never asked.

I paired this with some chayote squash as a side. I peeled the squash, then cut it into cubes about 1 inch x 1 in x 1 in and boiled them until they were tender. I then added my "butter" to it and salt and pepper....delicious!

I made them for my whole family last night, and I added milled flax seed to the soy flour for the breading. It was even better! Also, I just snitched a cold one out of my lunch bag and they are really good as cold leftovers! Who'd have thunk it? I may put them on a salad, too....mmm mmmm good....so much better than McD's JUNK!!!!

Sounds great!

But wait, so soy flour and flaxseed meal are both zero carbs?  I could have sworn my bag of flaxseed meal had a few carbs per serving...
