25. The Picky Eater Approved Chicken Recipe You Need to Know!

What if one food could help your child feel safe enough to start expanding beyond the handful of foods they currently eat?In this final episode of our picky eating series, I'm sharing what I call a gateway food, specifically a recipe that helped my own son move from eating one specific brand of chicken nuggets to eventually eating grilled chicken, different proteins, and a much wider variety of foods.But this episode isn't really about chicken nuggets, although you'll learn exactly how to make them, because they are amazing effective and super tasty. The big takeaway is about understanding why certain foods feel safer to picky eaters, the simple characteristics that make kids more likely to try something new, and how to build bridges from foods your child already eats to foods they've never touched before.I'll also share why progress often looks very different than parents expect and how to spot the small wins that are actually moving your child forward.RESOURCES MENTIONEDGet a seat in the free picky eating workshopPicky Eater Approved Chicken Nugget RecipeKEY TIMESTAMPS2:55 What progress really looks like4:49 The gateway food6:38 Three things picky eaters need9:22 Building a bridge to new foods17:21 Giving kids the right choices24:47 When it doesn't work right awayMORE RESOURCES FOR YOUReady for a simple plan to overcome the attention, sleep, sensory, and big emotion challenges?
