Hi, I am Carrie Wise with About.com Food, and today we are going to make chicken nuggets in the microwave. This is a simple, quick, and kid-friendly recipe you are sure to like.Ingredients for Chicken Nuggets
Let's go over the ingredients:- chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Cut the Chicken
Now, the first step is to cut the chicken into nugget-sized pieces, no smaller than an inch. Continue cutting until all of the chicken is cut. Remember to wash hands after handling raw chicken!Prepare the Ingredients
Then, pour the milk into a small bowl. Pour the cheese and bread crumbs into a large storage bag with a zipper; seal and set aside. Take the chicken pieces and dip them into the milk. Now take the bag and shake up the contents.Coat the Chicken Nuggets
Open the bag, take the chicken that has been coated in milk, and place the chicken into the bag. Finish putting the chicken into the bag. Once all of the chicken is in the bag, seal it. Now you will shake it. This is the fun part.Microwave the Chicken Nuggets
The next step is to prepare the chicken nuggets. Take a paper towel and place it on top of a microwave dish. Now, you are going to take the nuggets and place them on top of the paper.Once the plate is full, put another paper towel on top, and then put the plate into the microwave for seven minutes on medium-high heat.
Once the time is up, take the chicken pieces out of the microwave and use a knife to cut into one of the pieces to check if the meat is cooked through. If the meat is still pink, put it back in the microwave for a minute, or until the meat is white with little to no pink.
Serve the Chicken Nuggets
Once the nuggets are done, you can eat them. They taste great plain, or you might try dipping them in sauces such as honey, ketchup, or barbecue sauce. However you choose to eat them, you will like them.Thanks for watching. For more great recipes, visit us on the Web at food.about.com.
