Baked Crispy Ranch Cornflake Chicken Nuggets 
Summertime still here in NJ. School doesn't start until September. 4 children plus their friends equals an expensive lunchtime at my home. Chicken breasts at 40% off in my local store. This equals cheap lunch for the kids plus their neighborhood buddies!! I'm telling you.. they DEVOURED these tasty morsels in less than 10 minutes.. they wanted more, and they wanted to know when I will make them again. Demanding little suckers also requested baked onion rings, seen here, 
to accompany them next time. Oh and yes mom, with strawberries and peaches cake, seen here, for dessert.. 
Since when, children do you have dessert after lunch? Demanding things! Geez, the rigors of being a mom. Fabulously simple recipe, accessible inexpensive ingredients, and definitely a kid friendly favorite. I must tell you though, the FFH enjoyed sneaking one or two as well. Recipe originally from here, also found below on my printable key ingredient card. Begin by crushing your cornflakes,
then grab a block of Parmesan cheese.
Grate it. Combine the cornflakes, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl.
Mix. In another bowl pour some of your favorite ranch dressing. 
If you have the inclination, use homemade. Now you have two bowls. Duh.
Dip in ranch first, then dip in the cornflake mixture, pressing to adhere. Messy job, yes. Place on a GREASED baking sheet
(I used Pam), and bake at 400 for 15 minutes or done till your liking. Take them out of the oven. 
Let rest 1 minute and serve. They were juicy, 
they were crunchy, 
and they were given an emphatic thumbs up so good mom, rating from the bunch. 
Try this one for your kids. Mine enjoyed with ketchup...ewwww..
but you can also use any dipping sauce, such as this honey mustard. Enjoy!

My son would love these Donna and so would I. Of course I would have a slice of that cake first though!
ReplyDeleteOh Boy... nutty, taste from the cheese and kids LOVE cooking with cereal!
ReplyDeleteKid friendly? Adult friendly! I'd happily dine on this. Love fresh chicken nuggets.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling my entire family would love these.
ReplyDeleteThese look really good and easy to put together. Forget the kids, they might even make a great starter for adults!
ReplyDeleteI use cornflakes alot but I like your idea of adding the grated parm. Crushed up rice crispies work really goosd too.
ReplyDeleteMy invitation for lunch seems to have been misplaced somewhere...though I see that the parm you used is named after me!
ReplyDeleteParmesan, ranch, cornflakes, Im down! I would request a cake starter as well though!!

ReplyDeletethis is so great, for kids and me! delicious meal!
ReplyDelete(laughing at Joanne's comment) I made a nugget similar to this, but it didn't have the added ranch. I definitely see how the ranch would make them much better. They look kid (and mom) approved!
ReplyDeleteTo heck with the kids, this is MY kind of dinner!! I've tried your onion rings before, they are FANTASTIC!!
ReplyDeleteYou've only got another couple weeks of lunches for the neighborhood, so hang in there ;) These look so tasty!
ReplyDeleteHa! Trevor's been back in school for over a week now.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to pick up some corn flakes just for this recipe, those look so crunchy.
I love using corn flakes like this...so crispy and tasty. Great reminder to make something like this again soon!
ReplyDeleteYup, that Crispy Munchies sandwich is making me hungry.
