Baked Chicken Nuggets

I first began by mincing the chicken breasts in a food processor. I know you can buy store bought chicken mince, but I wanted to make my own as I will know it will only have chicken and not anything else in it!

Once you have chicken mince, add the garlic powder, salt and ground pepper.

I powdered the cornflakes in my spice grinder to a coarse powder. Grate the parmesan (I like mine freshly grated but store bought grated parmesan is ok too). Mix the ground cornflakes and grated parmesan cheese together in a bowl.

With wet hands, roll and flatten out the chicken mixture into nugget patties.

Then roll the nuggets into the cheese-cornflake mix.

When I made these, I lined them up on a baking sheet and stuck it in the freezer for a couple of hours. Once they hardened up, I transferred them all into a ziploc bag and put it back in the freezer.

When you are ready to bake these little treats, preheat the oven to 200C.

Bake them until cooked through. The outer crumb part will get a nice cooked through color / look to it. It took me about 15mins. The nuggets puffed up a bit too for me when they were cooked through. Do keep an eye on the nuggets as you don't want it to over cook cause the chicken meat will dry up when you cook it too much.

Transfer to a serving platter, squeeze some tomato sauce next to it and serve immediately.
