Coconut Chicken Nuggets

If you or your little nippers are partial to a chicken nugget, give these a whirl as a healthy alternative.  They are so sweet and tasty.  Don’t be tempted to over-cook them or they will be a tad dry, but cooked to perfection they are delicious served up with some mango salsa, corn on the cob, sweet potato fries or some crunchy sugar snap peas.  Soak them in the coconut milk in the morning and they can be whipped up really quickly when you’re ready to eat.
