Created by Veronique @ Our Low Carb Life Clinic
Are you tired of checking the labels on fun foods like chicken nuggets and finding fillers, vegetable oils and... barely any chicken?

Let's add some sizzle to your mealtime. Look no further than these delicious, crunchy sesame-crusted chicken nuggets! Not only are they a tasty treat, but they're also a healthy, low carb option that everyone will love - high in protein (because they're made with real chicken) and easy finger food for tiny hands.
Here's what you need to know: each serving of these nuggets packs in a whopping dose of protein, which is essential for building and repairing muscles, supporting a healthy immune system, and keeping you (and your little ones) feeling full and satisfied. And, with the use of coconut flour instead of traditional breadcrumbs, these nuggets are a low-carb, gluten-free alternative that won't weigh you down.
Making these nuggets is easy peasy. Simply slice boneless chicken breasts into your preferred shape, dip in a mixture of beaten egg and salt, then coat with a mixture of sesame seeds and coconut flour. Fry up in a bit of ghee for a crispy exterior and juicy, flavorful interior. Yum!
But wait, there's more! These nuggets are not just for chicken lovers. They can be made with turkey, pork, kangaroo or any other protein of your choice. And, you can customize the flavour by adding different spices and seasonings to the sesame seed coating. The possibilities are endless!

So, say goodbye to bland and boring chicken nuggets, and hello to these sesame-crusted, low carb sensations. Your taste buds and your waistline will thank you! Serve them up with a side of veggies for a well-rounded, healthy meal that the whole family will love.
