Italian Chicken Nuggets!

Delicious and nutritious Italian chicken nuggets that children can make themselves. Rather than breadcrumbs, flavourings and preservatives these are coated in almonds, parmesan and basil.

Using almonds is a great way to increase fibre, healthy fats and vitamins and minerals, which may be beneficial for our heart health, muscles and joints.
