MANILA, Philippines — Moms are constantly looking for new baon ideas for their children.
They should not only be easy to prepare, but also nutritious and delicious. It is always difficult to get children to eat healthy and nutritious food because junk food, like chips and instant noodles, is always available at school. So moms should make extra effort when choosing what to send their children to school with. Another consideration to take into account is that the food must also appeal to children.
So, how about chicken nuggets? Not the commercially available ones, but homemade chicken nuggets so you know exactly what’s in them. Here, Jolly, a leading brand of canned fruits and vegetables distributed exclusively by Fly Ace Corporation, shares this recipe for homemade chicken nuggets.
