Veggie-Loaded Homemade Chicken Nuggets

• 分量: 6 servings
• 調理時間: 10 minutes
• 総時間: 30 minutes

材料

1 pound ground chicken

1 cup grated zucchini (measure before squeezing out)

1 cup grated carrot (or ½ cup finely grated carrot)

½ cup finely chopped spinach, loosely packed

¼ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ Tablespoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¾ teaspoon kosher salt

black pepper to taste

oil for cooking

手順

Take shredded zucchini and put it in the middle of a clean dish towel or large piece of paper towel. Wrap up the zucchini with towel squeeze a few times to help drain out some of the zucchini’s moisture.

In a large bowl, combine drained zucchini and remaining ingredients except oil. Using clean hands or a spoon, mix until well combined.

Using a small cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon, portion out the mixture into 18 nuggets. Use your hands to form each portion into a nugget shape. I find that having slightly wet hands helps the mixture from sticking to me. Place the bites on a plate until you work through the batch.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Cook bites until a golden-brown crust starts to form and chicken is cooked through and have in internal temp of 165F, about 5 minutes per side

Enjoy warm and with your favorite dipping sauce. Allow leftovers to cool completely and store in an air-tight container in fridge for 4-5 days
