Chicken Nuggets and Chips

you need:
some fresh chicken breasts 
some potatoes
olive oil
bag of crisps
2 eggs
breadcrumbs
optional: sesame seeds
serve with: green veg

pre-heat oven to 190

chips 
peel potatoes and cut into slices/ chip shapes. add to a large metal baking tray with a glug of olive oil and mix it all around so all coated in the oil. bake in the oven for about 40 mins mins. (you can boil them for a few mins first if you want them to cook quicker). put chips in the oven while you make the nuggets. 

chicken nuggets
prepare a metal tray - I put foil on it and then a bit of oil so there is less sticking

in one bowl/ plate, mix together: 
1/2 packet of crisps or tortilla chips, crushed up into small bits
add some sesame seeds
add some breadcrumbs (double the amount of crisps)

in one bowl:
beat 2 eggs with some pepper

cut up chicken breasts into bite size pieces. dip each chicken piece into the egg bowl, then the crispy mixture.  put each bit onto the tray with a bit of space around each one. 
put tray in the oven and cook for 15-20. give them a turn half way through. check chicken is cooked through and the coating is all crispy. 

veg
steam some veg - frozen peas or sweetcorn? broccoli? green beans? while it is cooking.


you can also do this with fish to make fish fingers/ goujons- use pieces of fresh raw white fish instead of chicken
