Bomb. Big. Fat. Fail. So my idea was to cut chicken into bite sized nuggets of goodness, coat them in raw, organic honey, and then roll them in pecans that I ground up into a fine dust. Only pecans have this funny little thing called "oil" in them. So I did all of the steps I listed above, baked them in a greased baking dish for about 25 minutes and then tossed them on the stove to get them a little browner and crispier. My almost 6 year old son liked them and ate them without complaint. My almost 3 year old gagged and spit them out in my hand. I looked through a bunch of recipes and found a crispy chicken recipe that uses almond meal as the coating, so I think I'll try that next time. Oh well. Back to the drawing board.
If it helps, a lot of the time I use ground up almonds in my meat loaf as a bread crumb substitute.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll give that a try too!
