I “homemade” them in the food processor with chicken thighs, broccoli, cream cheese and a little cheddar cheese. Then used cookie cutters to make Dino shapes (he was in kindergarten at the time, and as we only did homemade food, he was jealous of his classmates!), dipped them in egg and coating and baked them. I used to make “egg” shapes with the leftovers and always put one in each freezer bag that would then be his school lunch.

I’m so freaking happy that he loved his homemade chicken Dino nuggets so much that he missed them into his teenage years. I sent mom and him the recipe. He replied with “I think I’ll make these but only as eggs”. It put a huge smile on my face.
