It’s 5:00 and, once again, you wish dinner would magically appear.
It’s been a long day, and you don’t feel like making a decision about what to eat (again), let alone standing over a stove for 30 minutes.
Some frozen chicken nuggets would be great. But you feel guilty about serving junk food to the family all the time.
What you really need is a healthy alternative.
What if you had some healthy homemade chicken nuggets at the ready?

And you know what’s in it.
