Planning dinner daily can be overwhelming. Here's an easy solution to make your life a little easier:
Keep a running list of quick go-to options: like these 20-min home-made crispy chicken nuggets. All you need is chicken, pretzels (or other chip or breading), and a condiment. Pair with frozen veggies, and you got yourself a quick, super tasty meal.
Other quick go-to options can be:
TJ cauliflower gnocchi (air fried) with shrimp, frozen broccoli and tomato sauce
Salmon burgers made from canned salmon served on roll with side salad
scallops with farro, tomato and cucumbers
Check what's in your pantry and make the list convenient to you!
Let's compare, homemade vs. store bought or fast food:
Your typical fast food chicken nuggets have ~190 Cals, 10g protein, 13 g of fat
These, also fast food, chicken nuggets are lower in calorie, double the protein, and almost no unhealthy fats (160 Cals, 25g protein, 0.5g of fat)
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken raw cut into cubes (tofu also works)
- Bbq sauce, honey mustard, and/or sriracha
- 20 pretzels, crushed
Directions:
Add cubed chicken to bowl, toss with condiment of choice. Place crushed pretzel spread out on a 9 inch plate. Roll cubed chicken one by one. Place a single layer of chicken in air fryer. Cook for 8 mins on 400 or until chicken is cooked. Flip halfway.
Makes 4 servings.
