Kid Friendly healthy = very happy mommy

We tried two new recipes, but I let the husband get a hold of one and it turned not as healthy pretty quick. So the one that worked  I wanted to find something that is usually classified as unhealthy food and see if we can turn it into something good that a 2 year old would love and a husband! I think we did it. It was super easy, and mom I think it is gluten free I don't know if cornmeal is or not, anyways it is Cornmeal crusted chicken nuggets with raspberry (or blackberry) mustard! It was super easy, a fun, and yummy meal, we had some yummy green beans to go with it and I felt pretty good afterward. We did have a little oil spill in the first batch, butt he other ones were not oily at all.  here's how it's done

• 1 cup fresh blackberries or raspberries, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 pound chicken tenders, cut in half crosswise (see Tip)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 3 tablespoons cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

1. Mash blackberries (or raspberries), mustard and honey in a small bowl until it looks like a chunky sauce.
2. Sprinkle chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Place cornmeal in a medium bowl, add the chicken and toss to coat (discard any leftover cornmeal).
3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook the chicken, turning once or twice, until browned and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total (thinner nuggets will cook faster than thicker ones). Serve the chicken nuggets with the berry mustard.

This was a fun shake up of chicken nuggets. They were super crispy and yummy and I loved the berry mustard dipping sauce and I can't stand the taste of mustard. Super good choice for anyone with picky eaters!
