Be sure and join me on Facebook for the latest updates on new recipes! I am always on the look out for new lunch foods for my toddler. She is a very picky eater and I would love to have her get the most nutrition possible. These HEALTHY Chicken Nuggets were a winner for both of us! She gobbled them right up! (I may have, too!)These would also be great for a Healthy Superbowl Snack! When I think of Super Bowl foods, I think of fast finger foods that are easy accessible and that people will love…and I think these would be a great option if you are looking for a healthier alternative!For more ideas on Super Bowl Appetizer/Treat Ideas click here!Pin It

Oh dear, what's panko?
Oh, I'm SURE Dear Son would love these… but "PANKO"??? Is this a spice? ~tina
It can be found near the dried bread crumbs at the grocery store. It is very similar, it just provides a different, crispier texture.

I made these for our Super Bowl lunch. I linked back to you in my post. My husband was truly pleasantly surprised! He said, "I didn't expect them to be so good." He's very picky so that is a wonderful compliment to you! Thank you for contributing to our healthy Lunch! :)http://www.toquascrafts.com/2012/02/super-bowl-lunch.html
