What is it about chicken nuggets? It seems like no matter what stage of food picky that they are in, they will always accept nuggets.

Ingredients:
Grated Parm (Green Can Kind)
Eggs
Chicken Breast or Thighs
Instructions for THM S Nuggets
To make these nuggets, cut the chicken into bite sized chunks.
Place the Wasa Crackers into your blender and mix until the consistency of bread crumbs.
Mix spices, parm and ground Wasa crackers together in a medium bowl.
Whisk eggs in a bowl.
Breading the Nuggets
To bread the nuggets, dip each chicken piece into the eggs.
Next, dip/roll the chicken piece into the breading mixture.
Place each breaded nugget onto a greased broiler pan. Using the broiler pan will prevent soggy nuggets.
Cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Then broil for 2 minutes to crisp up the breading.
How Many Can I Eat?
If you bread 4 chicken breast with the mixture and have no leftover mixture, you can have 1/2 of a chicken breast in S mode.
If you eat more, you would go into XO mode because only 1 of the Wasa crackers is allowed in an S.
Fill your plate with a big salad or Mac and Cheese Zoodles.
If you prefer more chicken nuggets, use this breading recipe and just use chicken instead of pork.
