Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb ground chicken
  • 4 oz cheddar cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet.
  2. Flatten a small portion of ground chicken, place a cheddar cube in the center, and seal into a nugget.
  3. Dip each stuffed nugget in egg, then coat in breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and salt.
  4. Drizzle with oil and bake 20 minutes, flipping once, until golden and cooked through.
  5. Cool 2 minutes so the cheese sets slightly before serving.

Notes

Seal the chicken well so the cheese doesn't leak.
