Cheese Chicken Nuggets Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 kg chicken fillet
- 125 g cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 300 g breadcrumbs
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 imported carrot
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken Mixture: Start by finely chopping the chicken fillet using a blender. Ensure the chicken is not processed too smoothly; it should have a bit of texture. Add the garlic, salt, and black pepper to the chicken and blend briefly until the ingredients are well mixed.
-
Grate Cheese and Carrot: Grate the cheddar cheese and the imported carrot separately. Set them aside for later use.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the processed chicken with the cornstarch. Beat 2 of the eggs and incorporate them into the chicken mixture. Add the grated cheese and carrot and mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
-
Steam the Mixture: Transfer the combined mixture into a heatproof dish. Steam the dish over simmering water for about 30 minutes, ensuring the mixture is fully cooked through. Once done, remove from the steamer and let it cool completely.
-
Shape and Coat Nuggets: Once cooled, cut the chicken mixture into nugget-sized pieces according to your preference. Dip each piece into the remaining beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, ensuring each nugget is evenly covered.
-
Chill and Serve: Place the breaded nuggets on a baking sheet and refrigerate them until they are firm, which makes frying easier. Once chilled, they are ready to be served.
These cheese chicken nuggets are perfect as a snack or a main dish. Enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness of these homemade treats!
