Recipe: Preservative-Free Chicken Nuggets

Rather than turning to a box of frozen, processed chicken nuggets, try making this all-natural recipe for your young chicken nugget connoisseurs.

As a mom, I’ve fallen prey to claims of “all white-meat chicken” and “whole grain” on boxes of frozen chicken nuggets. But it’s what lies beneath those items on the ingredient list can be potentially harmful to our children. In a very short amount of time you can prepare comparable nuggets both in taste and consistency. They can then be easily frozen for those quick weeknight dinner or school lunch box needs.
