Ingredients
The stuffing:
- 400 g chicken breast
- 20 cl liquid cream
- 1 egg white
- salt
- black pepper
The breadcrumbs:
- 200 g flour
- 4 egg
- 4 tbsp. neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 4 pinches salt
- 200 g breadcrumbs
- 5 g ground cumin
- 1 peanut oil
Gouda cream:

Instructions
How to Make the Stuffing:
- Cut 100 g (3 ½ oz) of chicken breast into small cubes. Set aside.
- In an electric mixer, mix 300 g (10 ½ oz) of chicken breast, the cream and the egg white very finely.
- Season with salt and pepper, then pour the stuffing into a salad bowl.
- Add the diced chicken and mix well.
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:
- In a saucepan, melt the gouda and milk over low heat. Do not boil.
- Set aside the melted mixture in a cool place.
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.
