Toddler Finger Food : Chicken Schnitzel and Steamed Vegetables Recipe.

2011-08-31T05:36:00.000-07:00

Toddler Finger Food : Chicken Schnitzel and Steamed Vegetables Recipe.
Toddler Finger Food Ingredients:

750 grams chicken breast
4 cups breadcrumbs
6 large eggs
3 large carrots
2 cups peas
8 large potatoes
4 corn
200ml vegetable oil

Toddler Food Recipe Instructions:

Prepare vegetables. Shuck corn. Cube potatoes. Slice carrots.
Slice chicken breasts in half (width ways). My children prefer thinner schnitzels.
Cut chicken into schnitzel size pieces that you would like – the chicken does flatten and will increase in size when cooked.
Place water in steamer and bring to the boil (I have a large double steamer that fits all the veggies in).
Lightly beat eggs in a bowl and pour a generous amount of bread crumbs into a shallow dish.
Piece by piece, dip the chicken into the egg mixture, draining off excess.
Place piece into breadcrumbs and ensure that the entire piece of breasts is covered with breadcrumbs.
To make a thicker outer crust, I repeat this process twice for each piece.
Once all pieces have been completed, place in fridge for approx 15 minutes. I find that this helps the breadcrumbs stay attached to the chicken!
Place corn and potatoes onto steamer.
Add oil to a large pan so the base is covered by a couple of millimetres and heat to a moderate temperature.
When oil is hot, add chicken to the pan and press down with an egg lifter.
Cook for a 4-5 minutes, so that crumbs turn golden then turn over. Press down and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from pan and drain on some absorbent paper.
Repeat this until all chicken is cooked.
10 minutes before the food is ready to be served add carrots and peas to the second level of the steamer.
Serve chicken with steamed vegetables and any gravy or sauces that you like.

Toddler Finger Food Recipes Suggestions

Toddler Finger Food Recipes Suggestions

Finger sandwiches - peanut butter, almond spread, cream cheese, cheese spread; all these sandwiches are quick and easy to make and a good source of protein. Try to buy the natural peanut butter without sugar or hydrogenated oils. Try almond spread for kids with peanut
allergies. Cheese sandwiches provide the calcium that a lot of toddlers are missing out on. Or do like the Aussies do and try a vegemite sandwich. It takes getting used to, but it's high in vitamin B.

Cut up pieces of fruit - pears, apples, pineapple, peaches. Don't worry if your toddler hates the skin, peel away. And you can always bring a simple banana.

Dried fruit - raisins, prunes, apricots are all great, but be careful since dried fruits are high in sugar. My mom always called dried fruit "nature's candy."

Dried cereal - the healthier the better. Toasted O's such as Cheerios are a real life saver when you're on the go. Remember to avoid the sugar coated cereals.

Chunks of cheese - easy to eat.

Mini bagels - complex carbohydrate, soft and yummy.

Well cooked pasta - shells, macaroni, etc. Add a little salt and some olive oil to keep it from sticking. Store them in ziplock bags and grab them when you're on the go.

Yogurt and fruit

Cottage cheese and applesauce

Fruit breads, corn bread

Sunflower seeds (for older toddlers) and dried fruit

Just remember, be prepared when you go out and keep it simple and
nutritious. You and your toddler will both be happier. Toddler finger food recipes....
