Homemade Chicken Nuggets
Sooooo much more delicious and better for you than any of those frozen nuggets!
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, chopped
- ½ cup mashed potatoes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon finely grated Parmesan cheese
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉. Place a cooling rack on a baking sheet lined with foil. Spray the rack with nonstick spray.
- Place the chicken, mashed potatoes, parsley, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and parsley in a food processor and pulse until smooth and combined.
- In a shallow bowl or plate, combine the panko and Parmesan.
- With moistened hands (or spray hands with nonstick spray), roll 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture between your palms and flatten into a "nugget" shape. Gently press the nugget into the panko mixture to coat. Set the nugget on the prepared rack/pan. Repeat with the remaining chicken mixture. Lightly spray the nuggets with cooking spray.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until crispy outside and cooked throughout. Serve with ketchup, ranch dressing (or the Veg-Wee Dip shared in the Weelicious Lunches cookbook).
