Tender Homemade Chicken Fingers - an easy to make oven baked breaded chicken goujon recipe, perfect for the whole family.
These chicken fingers (or goujons) are my kids favorite and best thing of all they are also Slimming friendly.
Chicken, homemade breadcrumbs and just the right seasoning makes these perfect.
The chicken is always so tender and doesn't have that horrible processed taste that frozen ready made ones tend to have. You can always be sure that these contain real chicken.
You can really mix these up with different seasonings/herbs added to the breadcrumb mix too.
These are also great served with my Low Sugar Tomato Ketchup.
The sides are totally up to you, but I normally pair with my Perfect Oven Baked Fries and a mixed salad.
For an SP or Original day, you could serve with some roasted butternut squash or just a salad is a perfectly good meal.
Don't forget to check out my ranch dressing, as it's the perfect dipping sauce for these Baked Chicken Fingers.

I make these using porridge oats instead of breadcrumbs and they are delicious. My fussy teen loves them and this is a good way of getting oats, garlic etc. Into his diet, and it's a meal the whole family love.
