What do you do when you have chicken nuggets on the menu and then you discover that you don’t have any breadcrumbs?
For me, I either had a choice of going out in the cold to buy some breadcrumbs or bread to make breadcrumbs… or I could raid Little Bee’s stash of rice krispies and stay warm indoors. I chose the latter 
Ingredients:
50g plain flour
2 eggs
75g rice krispies
a handful of fresh chives
a dash of smoked powdered paprika
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- Preheat oven at gas mark 6/200C.
- Place the flour in a ziploc bag or a dish, if you don’t have a bag. Beat the eggs in a bowl and set aside. Blitz together the rice krispies, chives and paprika in a blender to make crumbs and place it in a separate dish.
- Toss the chicken cubes in the flour until well coated, dip them in the beaten eggs and then cover them with the rice krispies crumbs. Place them on a baking tray in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
- Serve them with a dollop of ketchup and don’t forget to buy a box of rice krispies later or the next day, to replace the ones you took
