Chicken Nuggets and Salad

Chicken Nuggets and Salad

Ingredients:-

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

Instructions:-

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized nuggets.
  3. In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Coat each piece of chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Lightly spray the tops of the nuggets with cooking spray. This helps to achieve a crispy texture.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the nuggets are golden brown and cooked through. Flip them halfway through the baking time for even browning.

  • Mixed greens (spinach, arugula, lettuce, etc.)
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Cucumber, sliced
  • Red onion, thinly sliced
  • Your choice of low-fat dressing (like balsamic vinaigrette or a light ranch)

Instructions:-

  1. Wash and prepare the vegetables. Toss them together in a bowl.
  2. Add your preferred amount of dressing and toss the salad until the greens are evenly coated.
