Chicken Nuggets, Wedges and Corn
Who doesn’t love chicken nuggets? I think they are delicious. Bubba has not tried any fast food versions yet so this is his idea of ‘junk’, but will shall see how long we can keep him away from those conveniently packaged small meals that come with a fun colourful toy. For now though, both kids and adult will find this healthier and 100% chicken version very tasty! I served ours with sweet potato wedges, guacamole and corn of the cob, giving this meal a tex-mex feel. It was Bubba's first time eating corn on the cob and he loved it- very messy but great for teething! It is also a good meal to prep earlier (during nap times) in the day and just cook once you are ready to eat dinner.
Serves 2 plus a hungry baby
Ingredients
450g Chicken Breast
1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan
2 tsp Cajan spice mix (I use a readymade version of this but as an alternative can mix garlic salt, paprika, thyme, rosemary, black pepper and cayenne pepper)
1/4 Plain Flour (can season this with salt and black pepper however I left it plain as Bubba was eating the same
2 Eggs
Cooking Spray
2 Sweet Potatoes
Corn of the Cob
Few knobs of butter
Equipment
Baking Trays
Greaseproof Paper
Large Saucepan
Method
1.Cut sweet potato into wedges, spray with cooking oil or drizzle over olive oil and a few twist of black pepper, place into a preheated oven at 190 degrees Fan/200 degrees/Gas mark 6 for around 45 minutes until crispy of the outside and soft on the inside
