Lemon Chicken Nuggets

January 26, 2018

Grain free, gluten free and proper tasty! Who knew chicken nuggets could be healthy?!

A great one for the kids or even just a snack whilst watching a movie.

What you need

• 2 Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• Salt and pepper
• Hunter & Gather Extra Virgin Avocado Oil
• Lemon wedges

What you do

• Cut the chicken breasts into bite size pieces
• Mix together the arrowroot with some salt and pepper in a resealable freezer bag
• Put the bite size chicken pieces into the bag with the arrowroot mixture
• Seal the bag and give the chicken mixture a good shake to coat
• Prepare a large frying pan by heating it up and ensuring it has a generous coating of avocado oil
• Place the chicken pieces in a single layer in the pan
• Leave the chicken undisturbed in the avocado oil to get a golden colour on the underside. This will take approximately 8-10 minutes.
• Carefully turn the pieces over and allow the chicken to develop a golden colour all over. Add a little more avocado oil to the pan if necessary to keep the chicken from sticking to the pan. It should take a further 3-4 minutes (approximately) to cook through. 
• Once the chicken is cooked through, remove the pan from the heat.
• Serve with chopped parsley and a wedge of fresh lemon
