Low Calorie Crispy Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients

• 500 g lean ground chicken mince
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp cayenne
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp dry oregano
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.25 cup mozzarella
• 5 rice paper sheets
• cooking spray
• 100 g 0% Greek yoghurt
• 30 g light mayo
• 0.5 tsp garlic paste
• salt (to taste)
• water (for consistency)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the 500g lean ground chicken mince, 1 egg, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, baking soda, dry oregano, pepper, salt, and 1/4 cup mozzarella. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

2. 2

   Prepare a shallow dish with water. Dunk one rice paper sheet into the water to soften it, then lay it down flat on a clean surface.

3. 3

   Add a scoop of the chicken mixture onto the rice paper and roll it up tightly into a long sausage shape. Repeat this process for the remaining 4 rice paper sheets.

4. 4

   Chop the rolled sausages into bite-sized nuggets. You should be able to make approximately 30 nuggets in total.

5. 5

   Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F).

6. 6

   Place the nuggets in the air fryer basket and give them a light spray with cooking spray.

7. 7

   Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until the nuggets are golden brown and crispy.

8. 8

   While the nuggets are cooking, prepare the garlic dip by whisking together the 100g Greek yogurt, 30g light mayo, 1/2 tsp garlic paste, and salt to taste. Add a small amount of water if needed to reach your desired consistency.

9. 9

   Serve the hot nuggets immediately with the garlic dip.
