Iftar: Homemade chicken nuggets!
Ingredients:
1 Chicken Breast (about 300 grams)
Breadcrumbs (60 grams)------------------ I didn't have any so I took about 60 grams of my "Post's Lightly Frosted Shredded Wheat" cereal and crushed them till they were a powder-like state.
Powdered seasonings of choice
1 Egg White
Olive oil (or other oils up to you)
Step one: Measure about 60 grams of bread crumbs and then mix put them into a bowl. If you are like me and don't have any breadcrumbs you can crush up some wheat-like cereals you have till they are in powder forms and use it just the same. If you want to make your own breadcrumbs, you can put some slices of bread in the oven for a few minutes till they are stiff then blend them until they are powdery form as well.
Step two: Once you have the breadcrumbs ready, it's time to add the seasonings of your choice into the mix. Whether it is pepper, salt, etc it is up to you. For me personally I used Chilli Powder, Lemon Black Pepper, Parmesan Cheese, Mrs Dash Original Seasoning Blend. I mix them all well and good with the breadcrumbs.
Step three: Crack the egg, separate the yolk from the whites. We are only going to use the whites. Whip the egg a bit and set it aside.
Step four: Cut up the chicken breasts into smaller bite sized pieces. Note that the smaller they are the faster they will cook. Before cutting them up I would poke holes in them so that the heat can enter easier but if you don't want to do that it's ok..
Step five: After cutting up the breasts into smaller pieces, take one and coat it in the egg white and then bathe it in the powder you made just now. Make sure to get as much surface area you can get. Do this on all the piece one at a time.
Step six: Depending on how you want to cook them, if you wish to fry then put a little bit (or a lot if you want) of oil into the pan and start cooking it just as you would any other nuggets! If you wish to bake, then make sure you put a bit of oil on the baking tray before you place your nuggets there. Bake for about 10 minutes then take it out to flip them over then bake it again for another 10!
The End
Note: It's up to you what kind of sauce you want, personally I used Fine Wholegrain Mustard. Note that I am NOT a regular cooking guy, if you are a regular cook at home and you think something should be done in a different way then feel free to adjust it!
