Today I decided to create something new for my son. He must have been bored with fried chicken, curry chicken and steamed chicken. Although he has eaten chicken nuggets he has never eaten chicken potato nuggets. Neither have I. Looking around I saw many potatoes in my kitchen. If I were to leave them for another week I think I would have to bin them. So I thought "how about making chicken potato nuggets"? Using my imagination I just thought about the logical processes of making these nuggets using the tools that I have in my kitchen. Besides the potatoes I have my favourite coriander which would definitely add flavour to the nuggets, onions, eggs, cornflour and all the seasonings which I think would make my nuggets flavourful. So, after 1.5 hours my nuggets are ready. Of course the next make would be easier and take less time.
Ingredients:
- 250 g chicken breast
- 140 g potatoes
- 50 g onions
- 10 g coriander
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 1 egg
Method:
- Cube the chicken breast.
- Cube the potatoes and boil them till they are soft. Let them cool down.
- Add chicken breast, potatoes and onions into the grinder/blender/food processor.
- Grind all the ingredients till they form a paste.
- Transfer the paste to a mixing bowl.
- Wash and chop up the coriander.
- Add the chopped coriander to the paste.
- Add child flakes, black pepper, salt, cornflour and egg to the mixing bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients till they are evenly incorporated.
- Oil a steaming plate.
- Transfer the paste to the steaming plate. Level the top of the paste with a spatula.
- Prepare a steamer.
- Once the water in the steamer has boiled, put the steaming plate of paste in.
- Steam the paste for 20 minutes or till cooked.
- Remove the plate from the steamer and let the cooked paste cool down.
- Invert the cooked paste onto a cutting board.
- Cut it into rectangular shape.
- You may pan fry, deep fry or air fry them. (You may keep them in the fridge and pan fry, deep fry or air fry them the next day.)
- Your nuggets are ready to be served.
