These low carb chicken nuggets come out super crispy and are so easy to make. The chicken nuggets taste and look as good as regular ones but without all the work.
Add the chicken breast to a food processor and pulse a few times until it is fully shredded.
Mix in the cheese and egg until fully blended in. The shredded cheese should be chopped up enough that you won’t see long individual shreds.
Shape the chicken mixture into small oval patties. Cook the nuggets in the air fryer for about 8 minutes, then turn them and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
ENJOY!
You can also add an optional oil spray before cooking them. The one on the left is with the oil the one on the right is without.
You can use low fat or full fat mozzarella cheese. If using parmesan, make sure you use shredded and not the grated powdered one that comes in a canister.
These are really, really good! I was a little nervous because the process seemed a little odd, but they were simple to make and absolutely delicious!
