Homemade Chicken Nuggets with Gouda Cream
Description
This recipe combines ground chicken breast blended with cream and egg white with additional diced chicken pieces to create a textured stuffing. The mixture is formed into small cylindrical rolls wrapped tightly in cling film, then gently cooked by simmering in hot water at a low temperature to ensure tenderness without boiling. After cooling, the chicken rolls are sliced into nugget-sized pieces. These pieces are breaded by sequentially dipping in flour, beaten eggs, and a crumb coating seasoned with ground cumin, then fried in peanut oil until golden and crisp. The accompanying Gouda cream sauce is made by melting Gouda cheese with milk to create a smooth, mild-flavored dip that complements the crispy nuggets. The process yields tender chicken hidden beneath a crunchy crust, balanced by the creamy, mild cheese sauce.

How to Make the Stuffing:

How to Mould the Stuffing:
- Place about 25 cm (about 10 inches) of cling film on the worktop and place some of the stuffing on it.
- Form a 3 cm (1 ½ inch) diameter chicken roll in the film. Roll the chicken’s cylinder in the film, tighten and tie the ends to enclose the stuffing.
- Make several rolls to use all the stuffing.
How to Cook the Stuffing:
- Cook the chicken roll in a pan of simmering water for 25 minutes. The water should not boil.
- After cooking, allow to cool for a few moments and unpack the chicken roll.
- Then cut the chicken roll into slices about 1 cm ( ½ inch) thick. Set aside in the fridge.
How to Make the Breadcrumbs:
- Put 3 soup plates in front of you: one containing the flour, the other the eggs with the oil and salt and the last one containing the breadcrumbs and cumin.
- Roll the nuggets in the flour, then in the eggs and then in the breadcrumbs. Repeat the operation a second time. Set aside.
How to Make the Gouda Cream:

How to Cook the Nuggets:
- Heat the oil in a saucepan.
- Plunge the nuggets into it (in half).
- Leave to cook and brown for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Drain and pat the nuggets dry on absorbent paper.
- Serve them hot with the Gouda cream where you will soak them before eating them!
- Variation you can also brown the nuggets in a frying pan with a knob of butter.
- Tip: the sausages are easier to form with a firm stuffing and therefore very cold. Do not hesitate to place it in the freezer 30 min before you start.
