Homemade Swiss Chard Garlic Chicken Nuggets


So last time we chatted we were at the farmers market.  I have soooooo much swiss chard left over I don't know what to do with it. I had a dilemma Anthony wanted chicken nuggets and I wanted to feed anyone around me swiss chard. I found the perfect solution I combined the two and created swiss chard garlic chicken nuggets. I am pretty sure sauteed swiss chard as a side dish to the nuggets would of just stayed on the plate. I don't know many four year old's that would have thanked there mom for a side of swiss chard. You can use store bought bread crumbs but I had a day old baguette to make homemade bread crumbs. I pulsed all the ingredients in my new blender that I used to make the rice cereal. They came out kinda green so we called them Hulk nuggets. Anthony is pretty obsessed with all things superhero's and marvel comics so I knew he would gobble these nuggets right up.  My next chicken nugget challenge is to make dinosaur nuggets.  A friend at his school had dinosaur nuggets for lunch.  That day Anthony fired off twenty questions why are his nuggets round and not cool like dinosaurs.  After trying to answer and explain that chicken is not shaped like a dinosaur nor intended to resemble one I was getting nowhere fast. So stay tuned to see how I figure out how to turn a chicken breast into a extinct dinosaur...wish me luck! 

INGREDIENTS:
Chicken Breast cut into bite size pieces
1 egg beaten
1 cup of bread crumbs
1/4 cup of swiss chard
1 garlic clove

2. In two separate bowls add egg to one and bread crumbs to the other
3. Dip the chicken in egg mixture then coat with the bread crumbs.
4. Brown chicken nuggets in olive oil on both sides for 5 minutes or bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
