One-Two Chicken

Makes 15 to 16 nuggets plus 4 burgers

The basic mixture for this recipe is used to make both the kids' nuggets, which are served plain, and the adults' chicken burgers, which are accompanied by a mushroom-sour cream sauce and are akin to the Russian dish bitok, which is usually made with ground beef. There will be enough sauce left over for an adventurous young eater to try it.

Serve both the nuggets and the burgers with buttered egg noodles. For the kids, offer raw carrot sticks with a homemade dipping sauce of honey and mild yellow mustard on the side. For the adults, steam some sliced carrots, and top the noodles with extra sauce.

For the ground chicken mixture:

1 teaspoon unsalted butter

About 5 tablespoons mild olive or vegetable oil

1/2 cup finely diced onion

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into large chunks

1/2 cup whole or low-fat milk

1 to 1 1/2 cups plain dried bread crumbs

Salt
