Ingredients

• 1lb – 500g boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp white pepper powder
• ½ cup - 60g finely crushed tortilla chips. (2oz)
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp oregano
• ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 5 tbsp olive oil
• Salt

Steps

• Step 1

  Instructions
  Preheat oven to 400°F – 200°C and line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.

• Step 2

  Add the tortilla to a food processor and pulse. Add the breadcrumbs, oregano and 2 tbsp olive oil, pulse again just to mix. Remove and set aside.

• Step 3

  In the bowl of your clean food processor, add all the chicken pieces, egg yolk, garlic powder, salt, white pepper, grated Parmesan cheese and 3 tbsp olive oil. Pulse until chicken is medium finely chopped.

• Step 4

  With wet hands, pick up approx. 1 tbsp of the chicken mixture, roll into a ball.

• Step 5

  Dip in egg white then roll the nugget into bread crumbs mixture, pressing gently.

• Step 6

  Transfer nuggets to lined baking sheet and using a fork, apply a little pressure on top to flatten into patties. You can reshape them into an oval nugget shape using two forks and squeezing on each side.

• Step 7

  Place in oven and bake at 400°F – 200°C for 15 min on the middle rack or until just until cooked through, flipping them over half way through baking. Remove from oven and leave to rest a few minutes before serving. Serve with your favourite dipping sauce.
