This is our favourite TV dinner served with a side of veggies or salad.


Ingredients (serves 3)

  • 2 Chicken breast - cut into small pieces
  • 3-4 tbsp Red or green pesto
  • 2-3 handfuls Bread crumbs or panko or crushed cornflakes
  • 2-3 tbsp Oil

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  2. Put the chicken and pesto in a bowl and mix together until all the chicken is covered.
  3. Pour the oil into a shallow baking dish, just enough to cover and place into the oven for 5 minutes.
  4. Put the bread crumbs in a freezer bag and add the chicken in small batches. Shake each batch around until chicken pieces are coated.
  5. Place the nuggets onto the heated baking tray, no pieces touching, and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

I usually make a big batch and freeze half. To freeze, place on a baking sheet, not touching, and freeze. When frozen, place in a bag or container and freeze until ready to bake.

  • Yummy….these would certainly be a hit with most children.

  • I tend to just buy them, rarely though. They are so simple to make, and I do have the chicken fillets in the fridge and the panko crumbs in the pantry! My teen son will love them.

  • Simple and easy – and the colours will tempt awkward eaters to try it and probably like it.

  • I’d never thought of using pesto as a coating/flavouring! And I like that it’s baked. Yum!
