The catch

Each 76g serving carries 330mg of sodium and the coating is set in vegetable oil, so it is a cleaner nugget but still processed convenience food. (source)

The honest take

Real all natural chicken breast in a gluten free coating of chickpea flour, corn, and cauliflower, with 11g of protein and 0g of sugar per 4 nugget serving. For a freezer nugget this is a reasonably clean label with no added sugar and no artificial preservatives, which is why a health minded parent reaching for a fast kid friendly protein might pick it. Just know it is still a breaded, fully cooked convenience food whose coating is set in vegetable oil and carries 330mg of sodium per serving, so it lands closer to a better swap than a whole food.
