Ingredients
Chicken Nuggets
- 1.5 pounds chicken breast, chopped into large chunks
- 1/4 medium red onion, chopped into large chunks
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper, chopped into large chunks
- 1 large bunch cilantro
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp pink himalayan salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp almond flour
Frying
- 1 cup coconut oil
Instructions
- Add the chicken breast to a food processor and pulse 3 to 4 times.
- Add in the onion, bell pepper and cilantro and pulse until fully combined.
- Add the remaining ingredients and process until everything is fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
- Heat a medium cast iron skillet to medium high heat and add about 1/2 cup coconut oil.
- Once the oil is heated through (about 330-350 degrees F) use a cookie scooper to scoop out some of the chicken nugget mixture and drop into the oil. Flatten out slightly with a spoon. Do not over crowd the skillet.
- Once browned and crispy, about 2-3 minutes, flip and cook through on other side. Place completed nuggets on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat until all your nuggets are done.
- Serve immediately with sour cream or guacamole!
- Note: This recipe should yield about 15 nuggets.
