Healthy chicken nuggets

I know, I know. For many of us, changing our diet is hard because we are comfortable with what we know. Some of us might even say I enjoy my fries or soda to much to give them up. With that being said, I decided to post this recipe because one of my brothers guilty pleasures is McDonald's chicken nuggets. Since we have started this lifestyle change together about a year ago he has probably had chicken nuggets 3 times. Which is pretty impressive for someone that loves them so much. I would like him to kick the habit of processed, highly saturated foods completely so I decided to find healthier alternatives to his favorite fast food binge. I ran across this recipe on this site.
