Veggie Chicken Nuggets

I have a constant struggle with my son when it comes to eating more vegetables. But being a peaky eater, he refuses to eat vegetables (like broccoli, peas carrots, etc).

So, I always try hiding veggies in his food by cutting them into small bits, and mixing them with rice or yogurt. 
Today, I had some broccoli and carrots that I needed to use. So, I came up with Vegetable Chicken Nuggets.
Chicken Nuggets are one of his favorite meals. So why not mix them with vegetables? I was confident he will never notice or suspect anything ! 
Here’s a healthier version of Chicken Nuggets.

By the way, HE ATE A WHOLE PLATE!
Give them a try and if you do, don’t forget to send me your pictures !
P.s : I didn’t eat from these  #dietingsucks 

Ingredients:

• 250 g chicken breasts
• 2 medium size carrots
• 1/2 small head of broccoli
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1.5 tsp mustard
• 2 cups breadcrumbs
• 2 cups flour mixed with 1 tsp black pepper / 1 tsp oregano /1 tsp basil
• 1 cup of milk

Directions

1. In boiling water add the carrots and broccoli and cook them for 6-8 mins. 
2. Remove and put aside
3. Cut chicken breast to small cubes
4. In a food processor, add the broccoli with the carrots and mix. 
5. Next add the chicken cubes and mix
6. Add the garlic and onion powder along with the salt and mustard.
7. Mix one last time until you have something like paste.
8. Prepare your work station 
9. Put flour with herbs in a plate, breadcrumbs in a plate, and milk in a cup
10. I tried to make the nuggets in nice shapes using a cookie cutter but this didn’t really work. So just shape them the way you like. 
11. Dip the nuggets in flour then milk and then breadcrumbs. 
12. I ended up dipping each nuggets in flour and milk two times before dipping in breadcrumbs. This will help the nuggets hold shape better. 
13. Put them in the fridge for half an hour.
14. You can bake these or fry them. I did fry this batch cause it was the first trial and I wanted to freeze some.
15. The ones I made for freezing I fried them half the time.
