   • In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken, finely chopped garlic, shallots, pepper, salt, grated cheese, and finely chopped broccoli (or your chosen vegetable). Stir in the all-purpose flour and tapioca flour until everything is well combined.

3. Steam the Nuggets:

   • Transfer the chicken mixture into a mold or baking dish. Cover the top of the steaming pot with a cloth before placing the lid to prevent water from dripping onto the nuggets. Steam the mixture for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.

4. Cool and Cut:

   • Once cooked, remove the mold from the steamer and let it cool completely. Cut the steamed chicken mixture into nugget-sized pieces according to your preference.

5. Coat the Nuggets:

   • Prepare three separate bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with a beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs.
   • Dredge each nugget piece in the flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally coat it evenly with breadcrumbs.

6. Fry the Nuggets:

   • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the nuggets until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.

7. Store or Serve:

   • Enjoy your freshly made Cheesy Chicken and Vegetable Nuggets immediately. Any remaining nuggets can be stored in the freezer for future use.
