  • 400g Chicken breast
    cut into 10cm chunks
  • 40g Plain flour
  • 1 Large egg
    beaten
  • 3 slices of wholemeal bread
    (to make fresh breadcrumbs)

    Method

    • step 1

      First, make the breadcrumbs. If you have a hand-held blender that has a mini-blender attachment, this is the easiest way to whizz up the breadcrumbs, otherwise do it in a food processor.

    • step 2

      Organise a ‘production line’ of bowls – the flour in one, then the beaten egg, then the breadcrumbs, all ready for dipping the chicken pieces.

    • step 3

      Dip each chunk into the flour, then into beaten egg, then coat in breadcrumbs.

    • step 4

      Fry the pieces for 2 minutes on each side, then transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Sit on a piece of kitchen roll for a few moments to get rid of some of the oil, then serve.

    • step 5

      • Make lots of fresh breadcrumbs all at once, then freeze 100g at a time in freezer bags to use for future batches of nuggets.
      • These tasty nuggets can be given whole as a finger food, or chopped into smaller pieces for younger babies.
