Those nuggets look great! My boys love nuggets and frying them is such a mess, not to mention, not good for you. I will definately be adding these.
BTW-I made your Breakfast Tacos, but didn’t link them here, because with the fresh fruit and smoothies, it was a little over $5. I gave you a shout out for the recipe though http://hoosierhomemade.com/?p=1585.
Thanks for always having such great recipes!

erin, those nuggets are getting me motivated. my kids love them, and i’m always intimidated to make them. i HATE frying. baked in the oven might just be the right strategy… thanks.
Josh, Great Chefs says
I have a general preference to baking over frying any day of the week. Handy recipe to have. Thanks!
Sherri says
Would bread crumbs or corn meal be just as economical instead of flour? It’s just you get such a pasty look to the chicken without frying by using flour to coat.
Erin says
Yes…I was all out of bread crumbs! Would be a perfect alternative! I like the flavor that the dijon mustard gave the chicken 🙂

My husband made a batch of these for the freezer. He LOVES them! I don’t like chicken but he & my 2 year old eat it occasionally, so he put a batch of these in the freezer so I can pop a few in the toaster oven for my daughter! So convenient and way less expensive than buying the little frozen boxes of nuggets for kids.

Wow! You do such a great job with your $5 recipes.. I’ve never made chicken nuggets from scratch, but with this recipe they are really easy! I think I will make this with french fries next time because that was requested by my husband..Thanks for the ideas, kudos.
