Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder
  • 1 cup riced or finely diced cauliflower
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare The Mixture

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, ground paprika, salt, black pepper, and mustard powder. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Add the riced cauliflower and oat flour to the mixture. Stir until the cauliflower and flour are evenly distributed throughout the chicken mixture.

Step 2: Form The Nuggets

  • Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into nugget-sized pieces. You can make them as big or as small as you like, but I recommend about 1-2 inches in diameter for perfect bites.
  • Place the formed nuggets on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3: Coat The Nuggets

  • Pour the Italian breadcrumbs into a shallow dish.
  • Roll each nugget in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated. This will give them a crispy, delectable outside.

Step 4: Cook The Nuggets

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the nuggets to the skillet. Cook them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Fry the nuggets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Transfer the cooked nuggets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
