Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients for Chicken and Broccoli Nuggets:

  • 6 broccoli florets
  • 150 grams minced chicken
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare and Mash the Broccoli
    Begin by steaming your broccoli in a steaming basket until tender. If a steaming basket is unavailable, you can alternatively boil the broccoli in water. Once cooked, transfer the broccoli to a large bowl and mash it with a fork until it reaches a roughly pureed texture.
  2. Step 2: Combine Ingredients
    Add the remaining ingredients to the mashed broccoli in the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined. This mixture will form the base for your nuggets, so make sure it’s evenly mixed.
  3. Step 3: Shape the Nuggets
    With wet hands, take portions of the mixture and shape them into nugget forms. Aim for approximately 12 uniform nuggets, depending on the size you prefer. Arrange these nuggets on a baking tray lined with baking paper. This step prepares them for pan frying.
  4. Step 4: Pan Fry the Nuggets
    In a pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the nuggets to the pan and fry them until they are deeply golden brown on each side. This should give them a nice crispy exterior.
  5. Step 5: Serve and Store
    Serve the nuggets warm as they are, or with your choice of sauce. You can also pair them with other fruits, vegetables, or snacks. These nuggets can be enjoyed both hot and cold. For storage, place any leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months for a longer shelf life.
