Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz fully cooked chunk chicken breast drained
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Seasonings of your choice

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the drained chicken breast, egg, shredded cheddar cheese, and your preferred seasonings. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Form the mixture into small nugget shapes, pressing them firmly to hold their shape.
  • Place the nuggets on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F, then bake for 20 minutes or until the nuggets turn golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Remove from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, and enjoy warm!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil the nuggets for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
  • Experiment with seasonings like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or Italian herbs for added flavor.
  • Serve with a keto-friendly dipping sauce like sugar-free ranch or spicy mayo.
