paleo_chicken_nuggetFirstly, let me start by saying, this recipe isn’t about re-creating junk food. Re-creating junk food is one of my pet hates…..

For me this recipe is more about creating something delicious, wholesome and fun to eat, that is a winner with kids and grown ups alike.

The “nuggets” are perfect for dipping in my delicious pomegranate guacamole.

Guacomole

Coupled with a colourful salad, some sweet potato wedges, some tomato salsa- this is a happy, colourful recipe which is perfect for a mid- week supper.
