Chicken Nuggets

1c breadcrumbs
1/2c flaxseed meal
1T grated Parmesan
1/2t paprika
1/2t garlic powder
1/2t onion powder
1c broccoli, spinach or sweet potato puree (I prefer s. potatoes)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (tenders) cut into chunks
Nonstick cooking spray
1T olive oil

1. In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, flaxseed meal, Parmesan, paprika, garlic, and onion powder and mix.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix the vegetable puree and egg with a fork.
3. Dip the chunks into the egg mixture and then toss them in the breadcrumbs until completely coated.
4. Coat a large nonstick skill with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the oil. Place the chicken nuggets in the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to crowd the pan, and cook until crisp and golden on one side, 3-4 minutes. Then turn and and cook until the chicken is cooked through - 4-5 min longer. Check to make sure it's cooked through. Serve warm.
