Equipment

  • Thermomix
  • Oven

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.
