Chicken nuggets are a great food for snacking throughout the day and if your children are like mine chicken nuggets was, is and will always be there favorite food. I like that I can put a bunch of them in a zip-loc bag and carry them with me all day as a good healthy protein snack.

And there are many days when I just do not have the time for a proper lunch and these tasty chicken nuggets become not only my snacks for the day but also my lunch.  In our medical weight loss program we believe in eating good food all day.  So this recipe makes staying on your diet very easy.

My friends don’t understand how I can snack on chicken nuggets all day and still maintain my weight loss. But if you are one of our patients you understand this because you are doing the same thing. These weight loss tips and recipes are all part of our medical weight loss program.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts weighing about 6 oz. / 170 g each
  • 1/4 cup of oat bran
  • 1/4 cup of IsaCrunch
  • 1/4 cup coarsely ground almonds
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • Pinch garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 large egg white, lightly beaten

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare baking sheet by lining with parchment paper or coating lightly with best-quality olive oil. Cut chicken breasts into nugget-sized pieces, about 1.5 inches square. Set aside. Next, combine all dry ingredients in a large container with a tightly fitting lid. Shake well. This is your coating mixture. Combine water and egg in a medium bowl. Dip each piece in the water/egg-white mixture. Then dip each piece in the coating mixture. Make sure each piece is well coated. Place on the baking sheet. When all of your chicken has been coated and your baking sheet is full, place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden.  This should make 24 chicken nuggets and 4 nuggets have 100 Calories,  3 grams of  Fat, 7 grams of Carbs and 12 grams of Protein.

Pumpkin Bread Gluten & Sugar Free by Medical Weight Loss Philadelphia

pumpkin bread medical weight loss philadelphiaYes you can lose weight in our medical weight loss program and enjoy delicious desserts and yummy food. This is a great yummy recipe for pumpkin bread that is sugar free and gluten free.

If you have children it’s especially good for children who are following a gluten free diet.

Here are the Ingredients:

  • 5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 5 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 cup vegetable oil
  • 5 cup agave nectar or fruit sweetener
  • 5 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 cup canned organic pumpkin
  • 5 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 cup currants or raisins or chopped dates

Preheat the oven to 350°F

In a medium-size bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix well. Set aside.  In a large mixing bowl, mix together the oil and agave nectar, and beat until well blended. Add the applesauce and eggs, alternating between the two ingredients. When they are well blended, add the pumpkin.  Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix on low speed until they are blended, but do not over-beat. Add the nuts and currants, and pour into a greased and floured bread pan.

Bake at 350°F for about 1 hour.

To check the bread for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean, the bread is done. Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and let it cool a bit more.

On our medical weight loss program you can eat tasty food and still lose weight. But more importantly these recipes are healthy dishes that will improve your health and make you more slender.

By the way; my wife has made this pumpkin bread for the past few Thanksgiving Dinners and everyone loves it. Shhh but our children do not know that it’s gluten and sugar free so let’s keep this a secret. LOL

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does.

Have a great day!

Dr. Kenny
