I like finding ways to treat my kids to a favorite meal item and do it in a healthier way. This time in the form of chicken nuggets. Baked chicken nuggets are a favorite over here. They come together in 30 minutes and pair perfectly with our dill potatoes. My mom made Italian bread crumb coated chicken (her own version of Shake and Bake) all the time when we were kids and we loved it! This recipe is inspired from her baked Italian chicken. Only in nugget form.

Steamed Red Potatoes with Dill
Cube up as many red potatoes as your family will need. I used 8 for our family of six. I have a steamer stacking pan that I use for these. You can boil your potatoes if you don't have a way to steam them. Sprinkle kosher salt on your potatoes and steam until fork tender. Toss with 3 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with dill.
 Be sure to serve this dinner with our homemade Amish dinner rolls!
