Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 oz Ground chicken, extra lean
- 1/4 cup Grated parmesan, reduced fat
- 1/4 cup Bread crumbs
- 1/2 - 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1/2 - 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Add grated parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder and salt to large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
- Put half (1/4 cup) of the parmesan mixture in a small bowl, leaving the remaining half (1/4 cup) in the large bowl.
- Add the ground chicken to the large bowl and massage the parmesan mixture into the meat
- Divide the meat into eight portions (or the desired number of nuggets you want). Form the meat into a ball, then into the oval, flatter nugget shape.
- Dredge each nugget in the remaining parmesan-crumb mixture so the outside is completely coated and place on baking tray.
- Put nuggets on the middle rack in the oven (that has been pre-heated to 400).
- Bake for 10 minutes and flip the nuggets. Bake for 10 more minutes or until the outside starts to brown.
- Serve with nugget dipping sauce (or barbecue sauce, low-fat ranch, or ketchup)
