Prep time: 20 mins

Cook time: 30 mins

Total time: 50 mins

Serves: 18

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (coconut oil, lard or avocado oil make good substitutes)
1 head broccoli (about 2 cups) chopped
1 cup onion (about 1 small) chopped
2 garlic cloves
1 pound ground chicken
½ cup non-fortified nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ganthoda powder (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Pour olive oil to a large baking sheet. Using your hand cover the entire sheet with the oil and then set aside.
Add the broccoli, onion, and garlic to the blender. Then blend until completely combined and there are no longer chunks.
Next add the broccoli mixture into a medium size bowl along with the chicken, nutritional yeast, salt and gathoda powder, if using.
Using your hands mix the ingredients until completely combined.
Form the nuggets by making balls then flattening them slightly and making an egg like shape. They should be about ½ to 1 inch thick. Whatever size you make them, they need to be the same so that they cook evenly. Place the nuggets onto the baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, flip then cook for an additional 15 minutes.
