Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups broccoli steamed and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Steam your broccoli until tender, then finely chop it (or pulse it in a food processor) so it incorporates smoothly.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped broccoli, oat flour, shredded cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
  • Scoop about two tablespoons of the mixture at a time and form it into a nugget shape and slightly flatten.
  • Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes.
  • Nuggets are done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
