Recipe of Baked chicken nuggets
Vida Recetas Editorial
Baked chicken nuggets are a homemade, healthy version of the classic nugget, crispy without frying. This recipe is perfect for babies over one year (if you omit salt or use low-sodium soy sauce) and for kids, as they can help in the preparation. They are also great as appetizers for guests or for a quick dinner.
Why they work
Baking at 180 °C gives them a golden exterior and juicy interior, thanks to a 1 cm thickness that ensures even cooking. The mix of chicken with mozzarella adds creaminess, while the coating of flour, egg, and oats provides a crunchy texture without excess oil.
Variations and options
- Use wheat flour, rice flour, or any you prefer.
- Shape them round or as nuggets with a slight point on top.
- If introducing egg for the first time, use only the egg white.
- Add mild spices like oregano or paprika for extra flavor.

Directions

First, we cut the brisket into pieces, and chop it small, since then we will shred it and that's easier. We also preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Shred, and add the mozzarella cheese. We shred again. Add salt or soy sauce (As I did!) If they are more than a year old, mix well.

Now we take dumplings like in the picture, like meatballs, and with the help of flour of the kind you want (the rice one is great too!) , we give it a round shape. Now we flatten it delicately and make it in the shape of a nugget, making a slight peak on the top, as in the photo. If not, then round

We put them on a plate, it is important that the thickness is 1 cm. They are great inside and do not stay dry

5
We pass each nugget through a beaten egg (you could add a little salt after the year), and then through the oat flakes.

Prepare the tray with baking paper and put them on top of each other. We can drizzle a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on top of the nuggets. Bake for 20 minutes with heat up and down. We could turn them around after 15 minutes so that they brown on both sides.

Now we take them out, and let them cool down a little... Serve! They can eat them with their hands and they will love the result. And well, to them and adults... it's just that they are very good!
