What kid doesn’t like chicken nuggets? My son loves them so much, that we had to ditch the drive-thru and I had to learn how to make them at home. It’s healthier and less expensive.
Now, our homemade version has become part of his weekly lunch menu. Served with white rice mixed with veggies, a side of his favorite fruit and dipping sauce his bento is guaranteed to come back completely empty.
I recommend making them in large batches early in the week and store them in the freezer for a quick weekday lunch or dinner.
