My kids have been loving Eggo waffles, strawberry oatmeal, and pop-tarts lately. So I was about to throw out an old box of Rice Crispy Cereal that no one was going to eat when I thought.. hmmm I bet I could make chicken nuggets with this! So here they are:
Rice Crispy Ranch Chicken Nuggets
2 to 3 large Chicken Breasts
1 packet of Ranch seasoning
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 cups of Rice Crispy Cereal
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut chicken into strips. Crack 2 eggs onto a plate and mix thoroughly with a fork. In a bowl mix ranch seasoning, cheese, and cereal. Dip chicken into egg and then into the cereal. Make sure chicken is coated. Put onto a greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 25 minutes. Chicken is done when you stick a knife in and the juices run clear. Careful not to overcook the chicken, you don't want dry chicken! :)
I served these with boxed Au gratin Potatoes (hey we all need shortcuts once in a while!) Veggies and yes, those are pomegranate seeds. Carson and Canon saw the odd shaped fruit in the store, and wanted to know what is was.... they were way more happy about cauliflower and cottage cheese then they were with the seeds, but Jesse and I loved the sweet juicy treat. :) I think if they didn't have that little seed in the middle, they would be WAY more kid friendly.
