Chicken Nuggets

Kid-approved . This recipe is a spin off of the Defined Dish cookbook which I highly recommend!! In my health journey it’s super important to me that I feed my kids healthy options (lord knows there are plenty of unhealthy options when they aren’t home ), but that it’s also something they will enjoy.
