Easy Chicken Nugget Meal Ideas (Free PDF)
We have all had that kid that just wanted chicken nuggets. That was their safe food or just their favorite item. Unfortunately, after a while plain chicken nuggets can get a little boring…..
So, we have assembled a collection of fun meals ideas that you can make with Chicken Nuggets to add a little more flavor. Whether you have these as a snack, a lunch, or part of a dinner, that is totally up to you!
Most of these recipes only take about 20-30 minutes (depending on your nuggets) so these are great Plan B meals to have for those crazy nights!
Our prices this week are from the Super Walmart in the Birchwood, TN area. Some products may not be available in your area, but the substitutions should be pretty easy to make.

1. Chicken Parmesan Subs
This is really a great way to use up leftover hotdog buns and tomato sauce!
2. Chicken Cordon Bleu Rolls
This is one of those that uses just a little bit of this and that, so it makes a great easy lunch!
3. Buffalo Chicken Taquitos
I chose to go with the Mild Sauce, but you can easily switch out the sauce to something different! Go with what you like!
4. Peachy Chicken and Waffles
This sauce is so fun, and you can make it with other jelly/preserves as well like orange marmalade or really anything you have on hand!
5. General Tso Nugget Rice Bowl
I am a huge a fan of rice bowls, but my kids prefer everything not to touch. So, I just separate out the layers for them, and everyone is happy! You can also swap the sauce out for a Sweet & Sour if your kids don’t like any heat.
6. Loaded BBQ & Bacon Nuggets
This started out as a way to make something quick and easy using leftovers but now it’s a regular lunch thing. You can easily add to this or swap out the sauce for something totally different!
7. Chicken Ceasar Wraps
Did you know you can microwave most chicken nuggets? Well, you can, and this is a quick and easy lunch I have pretty regularly for myself when I don’t have any protein leftovers!
8. Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo
This super easy dinner is a great simple way to feed a lot of people fast and for cheap!
