Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast chopped, boneless, skinless
- 1/2 cup potato mashed
- 1/4 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground savory
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 Tablespoon Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Place the chicken, mashed potatoes, parsley, garlic powder, savory, and salt in a food processor and pulse until smooth and combined.
- In a shallow bowl or plate, combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan.
- With moistened hands, roll 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture between your palms and flatten into a "nugget" shape.
- Gently press the nugget into the bread crumb mixture to coat and flatten slightly.
- Transfer to a lightly greased cooling rack on a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Lightly spray the nuggets with cooking spray.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until crispy outside and cooked throughout.
- Serve hot with a dipping sauce, such as honey mustard or homemade ketchup.
Notes
- Freezing directions: after the nuggets are shaped and coated, but not baked, place them on a sheet tray and freeze for 30 minutes. Transfer to a ziplock bag, seal and freeze for up to 4 months. To bake: do not defrost, just add 3-5 minutes to the baking time.
