Skinny Chicken-Veggie Nuggets

Ingredients

  • 1 (14 oz.) package California Blend Veggies, thawed
  • • 1 egg
  • • 1/2 lb. ground chicken
  • • 1 tsp. onion salt
  • • 2 c. panko bread crumbs
  • • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Put the veggies and egg in a blender.
  2. Blend until pureed.
  3. Pour puree into a large bowl.
  4. Add the ground chicken and onion salt.
  5. Mix together with a fork until well mixed.
  6. On a large cutting board, spread a thin layer of the panko crumbs, salt and pepper them lightly.
  7. Spread chicken mixture on top of the crumb mixture until it’s about 1/2″ thick. Sprinkle more panko crumbs, salt, and pepper on top of the chicken mixture.
  8. Use a cookie cutter (or just a knife) to cut the chicken into shapes (Shapes are cute, but I'm normally in a hurry and just cut the slab into squares)
  9. Transfer to a cookie sheet which has been lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray
  10. Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 14-16 minutes, or just until the chicken is cooked through.
