Homemade Chicken Nuggets

• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts (about 2 pounds), cut into pieces

1 yellow potato (about 4 ounces), peeled and roughly chopped

½ white onion (about 2 ounces), roughly chopped

3 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped

3 Tablespoons cornstarch

2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 Tablespoon dried parsley

1½ teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika powder

2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more as needed

Directions

Add the chicken, potato, onion and garlic to a food processor and grind until it’s all completely smooth.

Add the cornstarch, flour, parsley, salt, pepper and paprika and pulse a couple more times until fully incorporated.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat then use a 1-inch cookie scoop to scoop out 10-12 balls of the mix out into the pan.

Spray the back of a spoon with non-stick spray then press down the tops of the balls to form a nugget shape.

Let them cook for 2-3 minutes then flip and let them cook for another 2-3 minutes or until cooked through and a golden crust starts to form.

Repeat the cooking process with the remaining chicken mixture then serve with ketchup and garnish with freshly minced parsley if desired.
