Coconut Chicken Nuggets

We are (real) chicken nugget junkies around here. Nuggets that don't have real chicken kind of freak me out. The truth is, they should really freak me out.... but they are good, right? Well, forget about those fast food nasties, because once you take the 15 minutes to make your own, there's no going back! We made these for dinner last night & I'm still thinking about them

Coconut Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients

1 chicken breast per serving

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 whisked egg

1 cup bread crumbs

1 cup crispix

1/2 cup (unsweetened) coconut (next time I'd use 3/4 cup)

salt & pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, & dust with whole wheat flour (you don't want the chicken to have any moisture), then dip them in the egg. Food process bread crumbs, crispix, coconut, & salt & pepper. Put all these dry ingredients into a gallon-sized bag & throw the floured-chicken pieces into it to coat. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. I like to dip mine in a bit of local honey!
