Homemade Chicken Nuggets (with Sweet Potato)

• doses: 8 servings
• tempo ativo: 10 minutes
• tempo total: 32 minutes

Ingredientes

1 pound ground chicken

1 cup mashed sweet potato (or fully cooked and cubed sweet potato)

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon onion powder (optional; you could also add garlic powder or dried oregano)

½ cup regular or panko-style bread crumbs (plain or Italian-flavor)

Instruções

Mash together the chicken, sweet potato, salt, and onion powder in a medium bowl with a potato masher or a large fork. Place the bread crumbs into a separate shallow bowl.

Form the chicken mixture into 1-tablespoon-size balls and roll in bread crumbs.

Flatten slightly (or form into tot-shapes) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optional: Spray or brush lightly with olive oil.

Bake for 22-24 minutes at 375 degrees F or until golden brown on the bottom and cooked through.

Remove from oven, let cool for a minute or two and serve warm.

(To cook in an air fryer, place onto a greased tray or basket and cook for 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees F. I don't turn over in the middle of cooking.)
