Homemade Chicken Nuggets

Happy Wednesday!

Cold again today. It’s a sign to bake something sweet, I guess 😅 Yep, I use every excuse I can get just to have sugar, Cookies, and crumbs 😅😁😅😁 I am naughty, I know.

I miss having apple tree in the backyard. I wish we still had ours, altho it was partially dead, I could still harvest for 3 years in a row. Tons of apple pies, it was nice. Rainy cold days always feel like the perfect time for apple pie, hmmmm 🤤

Alas, no. I’m too cheap to get a bag of apples from grocery store. It’s 12.99 a bag! So, no apple pies no more….well unless if I was really craving for it, I guess 😅 For now, them apples are just for boys lunch bags 😁

Today’s recipe is not sweets tho. I prepped some homemade chicken nuggets for freezer stock 😊

800 g ground chicken
2 carrots
8 tbsp flour
8 tbsp tapioca starch
1 tbsp chives
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp + 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
A pinch of ground white pepper
3 eggs

Sunflower oil as needed

Original bread crumbs as needed
1/4-1/2 c flour
1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
Water as needed

Mix everything in a bowl until completely combined

Grease a mold with sunflower oil
Dump mixture onto mold, spread nicely

Preheat steamer and steam chicken mixture for 30 mins

Cool to room temperature, slice into portions
Spread bread crumbs on a plate

Dip steamed chicken portions in flour solution, then coat with breadcrumbs
Ready to use or freeze until ready to use

I air fried the nuggets, you can ovenbake them or even fry them in oil

Enjoy!
