Chicken Nuggets With Veggies

• porciones: 40 servings
• tiempo activo: 10 minutes
• tiempo total: 35 minutes

Ingredientes

2 ½ cups cubed sweet potato chunks (or 2 cups grated sweet potato)

1 cup broccoli florets

1 lb ground chicken

2 tsp chili powder

2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp ground paprika

1 tsp salt (optional)

¾ cup Panko breadcrumbs

oil spray (to spray nuggets before cooking)

Instrucciones

For oven baking: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. For air frying: Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F.

Add the sweet potato chunks to a food processor and use the chop setting to pulse it into grated pieces. You will want to have 2 cups of grated sweet potato after pulsing. (If you do not have a food processor, you can also grate the sweet potato using a box grater).

Add the broccoli to the food processor and pulse until it is finely chopped. Place this vegetable mixture in a large bowl. (You can use kitchen scissors to finely chop the broccoli if you do not have a food processor).

Add the ground chicken, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, and salt to the bowl with the vegetables and mix until well combined. Use your hands as needed to make sure everything is well incorporated.

Pour the Panko breadcrumbs into a small bowl. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and place them into the Panko breadcrumbs to coat. Once coated, use your hands to flatten and shape it into a nugget shape. Repeat for the rest of the mixture.

Oven Baking: Place the veggie chicken nuggets on a parchment paper lined pan and generously spray the top of the nuggets with an oil spray (ex: Avocado oil spray). Bake the nuggets at 350 F for 25 minutes. For a more golden brown color, set the oven to the broil setting and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes (keeping a close eye on the nuggets so that they do not burn).

Air-Frying: Spray the air fryer basket with an oil spray and place the nuggets in a single layer in the basket. Air-fry the nuggets at 390 F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook in batches as needed.
