Homemade Frozen Chicken Nuggets

Homemade Frozen Chicken Nuggets

Frozen chicken nuggets are great to have on hand; they’re easy and kids love them.

But let’s face it, the store bought versions are closer to “mystery meat” than they are to chicken!

Making a homemade version ahead of time allows you the convenience of store-bought, but with real, good ingredients!

3 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch strips
