green cheese chicken nuggets

1 c cooked chicken (i used canned)

1 c spinach (i used a package of frozen)

1 c mozzarella cheese

1 egg (i just used the yolk)

1/4 c breadcrumbs and extra to roll

Parmesan cheese (optional)

1. combine ingredients in food processor until they stay together.

2. scoop into balls - a cookie dough scoop works well.

3. roll in breadcrumbs (and parmesan)

4. smooth gently to form a nugget

5. place on cookie sheet

6. bake 375 for 15 min, or until done. turn once 1/2 way through.

shifting gears

now that alex has started eating solid foods, i have begun a new search of healthy recipes that allow for easy tasty eating.

the food processor has come in very handy lately. i just need a way to store my extras, especially now that we have a chest freezer. i love the ideas of freezing in serving size (muffin tins, nuggets, etc) and just taking what i need for meals. we have a food saver, but it's hard to reseal the plastic each time. maybe i'll just invest in some heavy duty freezer bags, but i'd like a more environmental and economical solution.

a month ago, i made him apple chicken nuggets. i will have to post the recipe next time i make these. and today, it's green chicken nuggets!
