Healthy Eats: Chicken Nuggets

A healthy and homemade version of every kid’s favorite protein: Chicken Nuggets! We use storebought shredded chicken from Aldi, beaten egg and shredded mozzarella to form these delicious nugs! I’ve baked and air-fried them and both ways are tasty and moist. These homemade chicken nuggets go great on top of a salad or on the side with veggies too.

Ingredients:

Shredded and chopped chicken breast – 1 beaten egg (may only use half of it depending on your portion of chicken) – 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella

Chop up your shredded chicken then stir in 1/2 – 1 whole beaten egg and the shredded mozzarella. Form into “nugs” on a parchment or tinfoil lined baking sheet. Bake or air-fry on 375 degrees for 10 minutes per side or until desired degree of doneness. You could make in bulk and freeze after they’ve been cooked. Pull out and reheat for a convenient and quick healthy meal!

Healthy Eats: Breakfast Burritos

It can be challenging to get appropriate protein, carbohydrates and fats locked into a single burrito, so why not make it two! The Breakfast Burritos include protein tortillas, white rice, cheesy eggs and hot sauce. They can be premade in bulk then reheated. As always, each person’s individual portions and macronutrients will vary.

Ingredients (per serving):

2 Protein Tortillas – 1 c rice – 1/4 c Egg Whites – 2 Eggs – 1/3 c shredded cheese – hot sauce to taste

Lay out tortillas and fill each with 1/2 cup cooked long grain white rice such as jasmine or basmati. Drizzle the rice with hot sauce. In a frying pan, cook 2 beaten eggs and 1/4 cup egg whites. Add 1/3 cup shredded cheese until melted. Divide the egg patty in half between the two tortillas. Wrap and roll! Store in the fridge until ready to reheat and eat.

Healthy Eats: Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake

Some breakfasts bring the yummy factor first thing in the morning and set your day off to an amazing start! The Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake is one such recipe. First let me say you’ll never catch me eating cottage cheese on its own. I have a serious issue with both the texture and the taste of it; however, when it’s baked with other delicious ingredients, it usually takes on the flavor and texture of its pairings.

The Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake is easy and fast to pull together. Make them in bulk and reheat in the morning to save on time! Here’s the step-by-step guide to make these tasty treats:

  1. Line loaf pans or circular baking dishes with a tortilla of your choice (always taking into consideration your macronutrient numbers). I used a sundried tomato wrap with roughly 200 calories and 35 g of carbs.
  2. Mix your egg whites (1/2 cup) and cottage cheese (1/2 cup) with a 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese (or cheese of your choice).
  3. Pour the mixture into one of your tortilla pans and repeat to make enough for each tortilla.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes depending on your oven. The egg mixture will puff slightly and brown a bit. It should also be set and not jiggly.
  5. Let cool then wrap in plastic wrap or tinfoil until you’re ready to eat on busy mornings ahead. The last picture shows the Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake after 10 minutes in the air-fryer!
