Ingredients
- Ground chicken(1 pound ground chicken)
- Mashed sweet potato(1 cup mashed sweet potato (or fully cooked and cubed sweet potato))
- Salt(½ teaspoon salt)
- Onion powder(¼ teaspoon onion powder (optional; you could also add garlic powder or dried oregano))
- Bread crumbs(½ cup regular or panko-style bread crumbs (plain or Italian-flavor))
Instructions
- 1 Cook your sweet potato ahead of time. You can do this a few days ahead and store it in an airtight container in the fridge or the morning you plan to make these. Mash the cooled potato.
- 2 Add the potato to a bowl with the ground chicken and salt. Add onion powder if using.
- 3 Form into small balls, flatten slightly, and coat in bread crumbs.
- 4 Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake.
- 5 TIP: The batter is slightly sticky, so you’ll want to wash your hands well once you have the nuggets formed!
- 6 Mash together the chicken, sweet potato, salt, and onion powder in a medium bowl with a potato masher or a large fork. Place the bread crumbs into a separate shallow bowl.
- 7 Form the chicken mixture into 1-tablespoon-size balls and roll in bread crumbs.
- 8 Flatten slightly (or form into tot-shapes) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optional: Spray or brush lightly with olive oil.
- 9 Bake for 22-24 minutes at 375 degrees F or until golden brown on the bottom and cooked through.
- 10 Remove from oven, let cool for a minute or two and serve warm.
