Something easy and tasty for my kids. I like to make my own nuggets with slight variations. This recipe yields 12 square pieces, but it can yield more or less depending on the size that you choose.

Steps

1

Combine ground chicken, carrot, garlic paste, grated onion, salt, egg, and 4 tbsp bread crumbs. I usually mix it with a spoon before kneading it for a couple of minutes.
2

Add more bread crumbs if it's still too mushy. The result should be rather firm and pliable.
3

Put mozzarella inside the nugget, roll, then shape according to your preference. Roll the nuggets on bread crumbs. I shaped them like this. You can fry them right away, but I prefer to store them for at least 30 minutes on the fridge before frying.
4

I only used about 1/4 cup sunflower oil for frying. Use low heat. Put nuggets in the pan when the oil is hot and flip when the bottom part is golden brown.
