I was in the mood for chicken nuggets and I didn’t have any in my freezer so I whipped up these! …and now I may never buy pre-made frozen nuggets again!
If you have an egg and a can of chicken you can get these cute little, protein-packed nuggets into your belly in about 20 minutes (or probably even faster using an air fryer)! Such a great, high protein, low calorie lunch or snack.
This recipe makes 2 servings. Next time I might even double the recipe and freeze them for an even quicker meal! For the ranch dip, I just combined yogurt with ranch powder. Easy peasy. #highprotein #highproteinsnack #lowcaloriesnacks #chickennuggets #easyrecipes
