These chicken nuggets are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I always add some chopped carrots and celery to the breading, and my kids never even notice.

These chicken nuggets are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have leftover chicken after I make a roasted chicken, and these nuggets are the perfect way to use it up.
