Making breadcrumbs is so easy with one of these Mini Electric Choppers.
They’re a really useful gadget for whizzing up herbs and spices, as well as making breadcrumbs. You can even use it to make hummus!
This Mini Electric Chopper is a real space saver when compared to a full size food processor, so it’s great if you’re pushed for space…or have a cupboard full of gadgets (totally guilty of that one!)

How to make Chicken Goujons
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180ºC, line 2 large baking sheets with greaseproof paper and lightly spray with Frylight.
Step 2
Break the bread into pieces and place into a mini chopper, along with the parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, mustard powder and the finely grated rind of the lemon.
Step 3
Beat the eggs and place into a shallow dish. Place the breadcrumb mix into a separate dish.
Step 4
Cut each chicken breast into strips (they should be around 1.5cm thick each). Dip each piece into the egg and then pop into the breadcrumb mix to lightly coat.
Step 5
Once coated, place each piece onto the baking tray. Squeeze over the juice of the lemon.
Step 6
Spray the chicken with low calorie cooking spray and place into the oven for around 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Serve with your choice of accompaniment!
What should you should serve with Chicken Goujons?
We love serving these Chicken Goujons with coleslaw, potato wedges and a BBQ dip, or just with some of our Homemade Oven Chips.
Don’t forget to account for the extra calories/points and added nutritional values for your sides!
How do I know when these Chicken Goujons are cooked?
When cooked, the breadcrumbs should be crisp and golden and the chicken inside should have no sign of pink. Standard advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached 70°C and stayed at that temperature for 2 minutes. This is to keep your family safe.
How long can you keep Chicken Goujons in the fridge?
Any leftovers should be cooled and refrigerated as quickly as possible, and can be stored in the fridge, in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They are great eaten cold, but if you want to reheat, you must ensure they are piping hot and have reached 70ºC for 2 minutes. Never reheat more than once!
Can I freeze these Chicken Goujons?
This recipe can be frozen, but please remember to do the following;
– Freeze it as soon as it is cold enough
– Use a container or bag that is suitable for freezing.
– Defrost thoroughly before reheating.
Make sure it’s piping hot before serving!
