Equipment

  • 1 large baking tray
  • baking paper
  • 1 food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 large tomato
  • 1/2 brown onion
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1 egg
  • 250 gm ground chicken breast

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 220°c and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  • Finley chop tomato and cook down in a saucepan with a small amount of water to form a tomato paste for roughly 5 mins (some chunks are fine).
  • Dice onion, grate the carrot and roughly chop the avocado. Add these and the tomato paste to the food processor and process until smooth.
  • Remove from food processor to a large bowl and add the chicken and the egg. Mix until well combined.
    Note: Do do not add the chicken to the food processor, it will ruin the softness of the nuggets.
  • Spoon nuggets onto the baking tray and cook in the oven for 30 mins until just lightly golden, juices run clear and the nuggets easily come away from the baking paper.
  • Serve with veggies and enjoy!
