Yummy Chicken Cauliflower Nuggets

Ingredients

• 1lb ground Organic Chicken (ground Organic Turkey is also a great option)
• Olive Oil Spray
• ¼ cup seasoned gluten free breadcrumbs mixed into meat + 1 cup for dredging
• 1tbsp. mayonnaise or vegenese
• ¼ parmesan cheese
• ½ tbsp. flax meal
• 2 tbsp. garlic powder
• 2tbsp. onion powder
• ¼ Trader Joe’s riced cauliflower
• 1 Egg
• 1 Olive Oil Spray

Directions
Preheat oven 350*. Combine ground chicken and rest of the ingredients, saving the 1 cup of breadcrumbs for dredging. Mix well and refrigerate 20 minutes. Use a melon baller to portion out the nuggets and pat down into the shape of a circle. Then pat the nugget in the breadcrumbs and place on a cookie sheet. Spray with olive oil to lightly coat and cook 10 minutes. Turn nuggets and cook another 5-7 minutes until the patties are firm and done.

*tip, if nuggets are too squishy to form into balls, try popping them in the fridge for 30 minutes prior to molding.
