recipe for chicken nuggets, French fries, fried nuggets and potatoes with salad, and melted cheese:
Ingredients:
For the chicken nuggets:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the French fries and fried nuggets:
- 4 large potatoes, cut into thick strips
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt to taste
For the salad:
- Mixed salad greens
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Cucumber, sliced
- Red onion, thinly sliced
- Dressing of your choice (such as vinaigrette or ranch)
For the melted cheese:
- 1 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to make a coating mixture for the chicken nuggets.
3. Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, making sure to coat it evenly. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken nuggets until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
5. In a separate pan, heat vegetable oil for frying the French fries. Add the potato strips and fry until they are golden and crispy. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
6. Arrange the fried chicken nuggets, French fries, and fried nuggets and potatoes on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the nuggets and potatoes.
7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. In a large bowl, toss together the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and thinly sliced red onion. Dress the salad with your preferred dressing.
9. Serve the chicken nuggets, French fries, fried nuggets and potatoes with the melted cheese alongside the fresh salad.
