A healthier combination of meat and vegetables - roasted edamame chicken nuggets

Overview

Speaking of meat, the one that appears most frequently on Misu’s dining table is chicken. It’s low in calories and easy to cook. It’s delicious when paired with any vegetarian dish. And the most important thing is that my little chubby girl likes it! Today I cooked edamame with the chicken nuggets. I peeled them during the previous edamame season and froze them in the refrigerator. Take it out, thaw it, clean it, and bake it with the chicken pieces. It has a unique flavor. Today's chicken nuggets are grilled, and the texture is very different from braised ones. The fragrance of the chicken itself is revealed, making it taste more original and healthier. The cooked chicken meat is crispy, the edamame noodles are soft, and the carrots are slightly sweet. The whole dish has a relatively refreshing taste in the mouth, and the aftertaste is the fragrance of the chicken itself and the slight numbness of the peppercorns, which is very good. It’s a nutritious home-cooked dish worth trying!
