2. Add milk and vanilla.

4. When you dip your bread into the mix, do it quickly. Drop it in, flip it over, and take it out again immediately.You just want to coat the bread. Not soak it.

Clean Chicken Nuggets

Chicken nuggets are notoriously one of the worst kids foods... and I will admit I am very guilty of letting Aubrey eat them! It is something she will actually eat, it is convient and inexpensive... but I did have mom guilt... So tah-dah Clean Chicken Nuggets... I can happily say these are "Aubrey Approved"

What you need:

• 2 large boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cubed in to bite size pieces
• 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 8 tbsp. whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 3 tbsp. panko
• 2 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
• Olive oil spray

What you need to do:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Spray a baking sheet
3. Put olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and cheese in another bowl (I put the breadcrumb mixture in a freezer bag so Aubrey could shake the bag so she would feel more involved)
4. Dip chicken in the olive oil so it is evenly coated
5. Put a few chunks of chicken in the breadcrumb mixture to cost them.
6. Place breaded chicken on baking sheet
7. Bake 8-10 minutes, turn over and bake for an additional 4-5 minutes!
8. Enjoy!!!
