Healthy Chicken Nuggets with Butternut Squash

I am loving these 4-5 ingredient dinners that take less than 30 minutes to whip up. Between fitting in our P90X workout, feeding, bathing and getting little Adelynn ready for bed and spending some time catching up with how Jon's day went, there is no time left for a big fancy dinner with it's big obnoxious clean up!

Jon had an exam this morning so he was busy studying last night on the computer- reason this post is coming to you now! He might as well be learning Chinese.. I can't believe the stuff he remembers and learns.

This recipe is a fun one! A healthy twist on a food item that is usually on the no-no list.











Healthy Chicken Nuggets with Butternut Squash

Ingredients:
- 3 chicken breasts
- 2 eggs
- panko bread crumbs
- butternut squash
- olive oil
- salt and pepper if desired

Cut chicken into small nugget sized pieces. Dip in egg and then in bread crumbs. Place on baking sheet.

Peel and cut butternut squah. Place on baking sheet.

Bake both on 375 F for 25 mins. Leave chicken in for 3-5 minutes longer on broil to get your nuggets golden and crunchy!  

Serve with a green veggie and you've got a delicious, fun and healthy meal!

Enjoy, and remember to make healthy choices!
