Chicken Cordon Bleu Chicken Nuggets
This chicken nugget recipe is a great kid and adult pleaser. The kids get the chicken nuggets they always ask for with a little upgrade of cheese and ham. We also add some flax seed to increase the nutrition but they don’t ever need to know that. My kids never even seem to notice.
You can easily leave out the flax seed if you don’t have it but it does add some fiber to the chicken nuggets. It also has omega 3 and lignans, which have antioxidants that help prevent cancer. They also lower blood pressure, and decrease cholesterol. To add just one more they have also been shown to help control blood sugar. So I buy a big bag from Costco to keep on hand and add to most of my breads as well as smoothies and any other recipes that I can. The picture also includes a great salad that I will share soon as well.
