Crispy Chicken Nuggets with Cauliflower

Chicken Nuggets with a Hidden Cauliflower Twist

Who doesn't love chicken nuggets? Here's a genius way to sneak in some veggies by adding frozen cauliflower rice directly to the mix—your kids will never know! These crispy, golden nuggets are gluten-free, super tasty, and a perfect way to hide healthy veggies in a dish everyone loves.

Ingredients:

• 1 package of organic ground chicken
• Gluten-free bread crumbs (enough to coat the nuggets)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Dried rosemary (to taste)
• Gluten-free flour (enough for dredging)
• 2 eggs
• Avocado Oil (for cooking)
• 1 cup of frozen cauliflower rice

Instructions:

1. Mix the nugget ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, salt and pepper. Don’t forget to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Now, add the frozen cauliflower rice directly into the mix—no need to cook it first! Just toss it in as is, and it will blend perfectly.

2. Shape the nuggets: Scoop out small portions of the mixture and form them into nugget-sized pieces, about 1 1/2 inches long (or whatever size your kids love!).

3. Set up the coating station: In one shallow dish place gluten-free breadcrumbs with salt and dried rosemary. In second dish, place flour. In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs until well combined. 

4. Dredge and cook:  Lightly coat each nugget in the flour, then dip it into the egg, and finally roll it in the seasoned breadcrumb. Heat the Avocado Oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, cook the nuggets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

5. Serve and enjoy: Once cooked, serve the nuggets and watch your kids enjoy them without a clue about the sneaky cauliflower rice! These nuggets go perfectly with your favorite dipping sauces or a side of veggies.

Enjoy these crispy, veggie-packed nuggets and feel good knowing you're sneaking in a healthy boost for your little ones! 🐔🥦
