Delicious veggie nuggets, perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Double the recipe for extra convenience!
Ingredients:
  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup Progresso™ Italian style panko crispy bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F and generously coat a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, simmer sweet potatoes in enough water to cover until tender, approximately 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. Puree the sweet potatoes in a food processor until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the egg with 1 cup of sweet potato puree. (Save any extra puree for another dish.) In a separate bowl, mix bread crumbs with cheese. Dip chicken pieces in the egg mixture first, then coat with the crumb mixture before placing them on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
