Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets

Healthy, homemade chicken nuggets with hidden veggies your family will love.

Ingredients:

  • 500g free range, organic chicken mince
  • 1 tbsp My Organics chia seeds
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 3 tbsp cooked mashed sweet potato
  • 1 small carrot, finely grated
  • 1/2 cup finely grated cauliflower
  • Pinch Himalayan salt
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Coating:

  • 3/4 cup My Organics almond meal
  • 3 tbsp My Organics sesame seeds
  • Pinch Himalayan salt
  • Extra virgin Olive Oil for cooking

Method:

1. In a large mixing bowl add all chicken nuggets ingredients and combine.
2. In a separate mixing bowl combine almond meal, sesame seeds and a pinch of salt and
transfer to a flat plate.
3. Shape heaped tablespoon portions of the mince into nuggets shapes and onto a plate. Using
damp hands will help to shape the sticky mixture easily.
4. Roll each of the nugget into the almond meal coating until all are well coated.
5. Place nuggets evenly onto a lined baking tray and spray with olive oil. Bake in oven for 12- 15
minutes or until golden and cooked through.
6. Or heat a generous amount of olive oil in a frying pan and cook nuggets for 4-5 minutes each
side until golden and cooked through.

Recipe Tips:

• You can also add 1/2 cup baby spinach, finely chopped
• You can also use cooked & mashed pumpkin in place of sweet potato.
• To make this recipe nut free, swap almond meal for My Organics shredded coconut.
