Easy, Peasy, Healthy Chicken Nuggets



It's after work - the kids are running amok, your house is a mess, and you have NO IDEA what's for dinner! What mom hasn't been here before? Now what?

Never fear, there's still a chance to salvage the day with a fast and simple, delicious dinner!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
2 lbs. Boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 1” chunks)
1 16oz. Canister any brand, any flavor bread crumbs
2 lg. Eggs
3 Tbs.water
1 lg. Bowl with lid (for tossing chicken)
1 Tbs. Coarse sea salt
1 Tbs. Ground Black Pepper
2 ½ - 3 c. Corn oil (for deep frying, varies on pan depths)

Begin to heat oil to approx. 350°- 375°F. The oil will cool when you add the chicken. Be sure to keep your oil anywhere between 300°-325°F while frying.

Chunk chicken by cutting breast down the middle (creating 2 pcs.) Then cut each piece across in approx. 1” chunks.

Wash thoroughly, pat with paper towel.

Toss with salt and pepper.

Whisk eggs and water and place chunks in egg wash. Remove from egg wash. Place in the bowl with lid add half of bread crumbs to chunks. Put lid on the bowl, and toss chunks until evenly coated.

Place in oil and fry approx. 3 mins on each side, or until chicken floats. [Internal temp of 165°F w/ meat thermometer]

Serve these yummy “nuggets” with oven baked fries, baked potatoes, couscous, quinoa; the list goes on! Add some steamed veggies or even a simple salad to complete the meal.  Experiment with sides and ways to use your new favorite chicken nugget!

Dear Moms,  OMIGERD!! I have been swamped! Let me fill ya in: I am STILL in school full time, for my Graphic Arts Associates Degree.  I am getting the kids ready for a brand spanking new school year in an entirely new city AND state. I am getting my company: Essential Bath Elements off of the ground. I am working with the susband (soon to be husband) on both the ministry AND the cleaning company.  Oh- and did I forget to mention that I am MOVING?? AGAIN?!? Yeah, moving- once again. We have been in this house for a little under six months...but, the landlord was doing fraudulent things by renting it out during a foreclosure. Long story short, Fannie Mae purchased our home and then asked if we would like to continue renting, OR they offered us, "relocation assistance" to move. $$$$$ Cha-CHING! I was ready to pack while we were still on the phone with the broker! 👀 Am I alone?! Hands? Needless to say, I am scouting places for boxes and taking art...

Migraine and Anemia Rantings  Dear Moms, I recently had to face the truth about the seriousness of living with anemia. I have had anemia my entire life and never knew the true depths of how ugly it can get. I have discovered in my research, that living with anemia is wrought with hidden pitfalls that deplete the body's natural iron levels. Seemingly, every other thing one puts in their mouths on a daily basis is a culprit; robbing the body of iron. Soda, cow's milk, tannins in tea and coffee, and omeprazole (active ingredient in Prilosec an OTC heartburn medication) all deplete your iron levels. So, having an already depleted blood iron content (being anemic) and enjoying the ingestion of the abovementioned items... ¡No es bueno! Anemia is linked to restless leg syndrome and also known to be a cause of Anxiety and Depression. It causes insomnia, and even migraines! And all this time my mother just said I was "special" lol I was obviously being driven mad by ...
