Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 150 g chicken breast cubed
  • 2 tablespoons full cream milk
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons wholemeal breadcrumbs or gluten free breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese finely grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 150 g Birds Eye Pumpkin & Cauli Mash
  • 1/3 cup green peas

Method
 

  1. Combine the milk and vinegar to a shallow bowl or dish and add the chicken breast. Allow to marinate for 1 hour to tenderise the chicken.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius on a fan forced setting and line a baking tray.
  3. Mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan, basil, thyme, salt and pepper together in a bowl or plate. Drain the chicken and toss in the bread crumb mixture. Shake off the excess crumb and transfer to the baking tray. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  4. Spray the crumbed chicken with olive oil and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
  5. Meanwhile, cook frozen Birds Eye Veggie Mash and peas following packet directions.
  6. Serve the chicken nuggets alongside the veggie mash and peas.

Notes

TIP: Ensure as much of the moisture is removed from the Mash by firmly pressing in a sieve. Alternatively, place in a clean chux or tea towel, twist and squeeze.
Please note: We do not recommend a low carb eating plan for kids. Peas and breadcrumbs contribute some carbohydrates to this balanced meal.
