Chicken nuggets are one of the staple foods for children in the UK. In most cases they are made from low quality chicken and coated in refined white flour, making them a poor choice for growing brains. Here is a recipe for yummy Paleo chicken nuggets. Paleo means that these nuggets are naturally gluten free and grain free, and are much more nutritious than shop bought options.
The organic chicken is dipped in organic eggs and then rolled in ground almonds, tapioca and some lovely Mediterranean herbs. The come out lovely and crunchy and are delicious dipped in Paleo tomato ketchup.
You can eat these yummy chicken bites, hot at supper time, or cold in a lunch box. You can include these nuggets in a picnic when out and about.

- Cut the chicken into large chunks.
