Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.
- Cut them into thin, even slices or wedges.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato pieces with 1 tbsp of olive oil and a tsp of corn flour.
- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potato chips are golden and slightly crispy. Flip them halfway through the baking time for even cooking.
- In three separate shallow bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and place the breadcrumbs in the third bowl. Add 1 tsp of salt to the breadcrumbs and mix well.
- Dredge each chicken nugget in the flour, then dip them into the beaten eggs, and finally coat them in the breadcrumbs.
- Arrange the breaded chicken nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and give a short spray of cooking oil over them.
- Bake in the oven alongside the sweet potato chips for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Tips:
- Ensure the chicken breasts are cut into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- For extra crispy chicken nuggets, you can double-coat them in the egg and breadcrumb mixture.
- To avoid overcrowding, place the chicken nuggets and sweet potato chips on separate baking sheets, ensuring they have enough space to crisp up.
- Flip the sweet potato chips halfway through baking to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
- You can use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the chicken nuggets and sweet potato chips from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Feel free to season the bread crumbs with your favorite herbs and spices for added flavor.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Once you've tasted these baked chicken nuggets and sweet potato chips, you'll appreciate how simple and satisfying this meal can be. The blend of flavors from the chicken nuggets, crispy sweet potato chips, and tangy green beans creates a well-rounded and enjoyable dining experience.
