Great idea for a quick dinner with chunky chips and salad

Great and very easy recipie. As someone else mentioned.... Cover it in breadcrumbs and a kid will eat anything.... It's true! Even my husband who hates chicken had to admit it was delicious. And FYI I did cook these from frozen. They are such small bits of chicken they cook quickly from frozen.

I made these for my 2 year old the other week but just used tomato sauce as I wasn't sure if she would like the pesto. She loved them with the tomato sauce. So after making them for my daughter I decided I would try them for myself but again I'm not sure about pesto so I used a BBQ sauce and kept my chicken at goujon size and they where amazing!

I added a little red chilli as we like a bit of heat.......loved them!

Fab and easy recipe, I followed some of the tips on here, adding some crushed cornflakes to the breadcrumbs as well as garlic granuals, paprika and cajun. I used green pesto as we didn't have red. I didn't freeze them but cooked them from fresh. My boyfriend loved them, and we are doing to make these now instead of buying from the supermarket! I served them with home made potato wedges.

Made these for two very fussy kids (and one slightly fussy man) and it was a huge success. Comments were: "best nuggets ever" "10/10" and "9/10" (only lost a point because one decided there were slightly too many breadcrumbs for his taste) No-one knew the pesto was in there (as I suspect they would have all said "euuuwwww" or something similar if they had known in advance!) they all just thought they were really tasty, and I have to confess, despite not being a chicken nugget fan normally, I loved them too! May try using to coat a butterflied chicken breast next and see if it's as good for a slightly more grown-up dinner.

How long do you cook these for from frozen?

Im going to try this recipe today but does anybody have any ideas as to a side dish other than chips???? Thanks

Forget about the children. Think nibbles, canapes, hand-held first course for large gathering meals, especially with some of the tweaking proposed by others above.

Great recipe. Tasted great. Makes two large trays worth so I also have a batch in the freezer for next time. So easy to make - I'll never go back to store-bought nuggets! Also, next time I might add different seasoning to the breadcrumbs - the possibilities are endless!

i have often made these for my children and my husband,my daughter had a party at home recently and as these are so easy to make i made a big batch and the teens wolfed them down,some of the girls wanted to know where i got them and lots took the recipe with them.a great way to get them to eat something trendy but also healthy.

Need to ensure that a good pesto is used as it can really alter the taste. Needed to add salt to make it taste a bit better, but otherwise not a bad snack.

Wow. These are really easy and all my children (ages 1,2,6,7) have eaten them without a single complaint which is really unusual! Much better than shop bought dodgy things!

Cooked these before and they turned out great. Not as crispy as I would like but I think the oven wasn't hot enough. I cooked from frozen and they were fine - I think because they are so small it isn't a problem to cook from frozen.

Brilliant. We have tried it with both chicken and turkey breast and both taste good.

could somebody please tell me... i have frozen these bites raw and now want to cook them... do i defrost them first or cook from frozen. i am concerned as i've never cooked 'raw' chicken from frozen. THANKS

Amazing amamzing recipe!! So simple. I now have a freezer draw dedicated to these chicken bites.

Absolutely fantastic, pleased a 4 year old and a 17 year old, can't be bad. I love knowing what goes into thei food and now I can give them the nuggets they want.

Not crispy at all and really quite bland. Didn't go down too well in my house!

Fab my 2 loved this infact the eldest asked for more! really easy to make also
