    I don't know about you, but I just can't help myself when it comes to eating waaaay too much this time of year!  In between all of the Christmas parties, BBQ's and catching up with friends, there is always so much yummy food on offer and I always seem to overindulge.   These Thermomix Chicken and Zucchini Nuggets are the perfect 'lighter' party food (or easy dinner!) option and the kids won't even realise that they have veggies in them!

    Thermomix Chicken and Zucchini Nuggets

    These Chicken and Zucchini Nuggets are really simple to make and best of all you can make them in advance and then pop them into the freezer until you need them.  They are a great alternative to 'traditional' chicken nuggets and my boys just love gobbling down a few of their 'special nuggets'!

    Ingredients

    • 500 g of chicken breast mince
    • 1 zucchini
    • ½ teaspoon of mild paprika (optional)
    • ½ cup of grated parmesan cheese
    • ½ cup of breadcrumbs
    • 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley
    • ½ cup of very finely grated parmesan cheese - extra
    • Salt and pepper

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 190 degrees celsius and chop the parsley finely and place it along with the bread crumbs and ½ cup of finely grated parmesan cheese into a small bowl and set aside until needed.
    • Place the zucchini into your Thermomix bowl and blitz on Turbo until finely grated - you may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
    • Transfer the grated zucchini into a strainer and squeeze out any excess liquid.
    • Add the chicken mince, zucchini, paprika, parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of salt and pepper into your Thermomix bowl and mix on Reverse Speed 5 for 15 seconds or until completely combined.
    • Use a metal spoon to scoop the chicken mixture and roll into balls with your hands.
    • Place the chicken balls into the bowl with the breadcrumb mixture and lightly toss to cover the entire ball.
    • Place the coated chicken balls onto a lined baking tray and using the palm of your hand, slightly flatten the ball before using the knuckle of your thumb to indent the side – giving you the shape of a ‘traditional’ chicken nugget. Repeat this process until all the chicken mixture has been used.
    • Place the baking tray into the oven and cook for 12 - 15 minutes or until your Chicken and Zucchini Nuggets are golden brown and cooked through when tested.
    • Please note your cooking time will vary depending on the size of your Chicken and Zucchini Nuggets.

      What is chicken mince? Do I need to cook the chicken then shred it? Put the chicken in raw?

        Hi Rebecca, you can either buy minced (or ground) chicken mince at the butcher/supermarket or alternatively you can mince it in your Thermomix, I cut chicken breast into chunks and then mix on speed 5 for 10 - 15 seconds to mince. I hope that helps

          Does the chicken have to be cooked or raw?

          Hi Pia, it's raw until you bake the nuggets 🙂

        Hi Maryanne,
        I'm not sure sorry, we are not familiar with Keto recipes.

      I made a vegetarian version of these yesterday, using your recipe as a guide. All I did was replace the chicken mince with crumbled firm tofu. Had to double the baking time, but apart from that, they turned out perfect!!

      Hiya!
      Would rejecting these in the microwave be ok do you think? If they’re defrosted in the fridge overnight.

      You mentioned that you can freeze these. Do you freeze them before or after cooking? If it's after cooking how long do you cook them to reheat?

        Hi Stacey, I freeze these after I have cooked them and then reheat for 10 - 15 minutes (time will vary depending on size of the nuggets) at 190 degrees. I also pop a piece of foil on top of them to stop them from browning too much. I hope that helps x
