Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs use gluten-free if needed
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese optional
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for baking or frying

Method
 

  1. Boil cauliflower florets until tender, then squeeze out excess moisture.
  2. Mix cauliflower with ground chicken, breadcrumbs, parmesan, egg, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Shape mixture into small nuggets and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, or fry for 3-4 minutes per side.

Notes

For extra crispy nuggets, bake on a wire rack instead of directly on the baking sheet. Freeze extras for future meals!
