Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Finely mince the chicken breasts by slicing them into strips, then cubes, and then chopping until they are finely minced. You can use ground chicken, but I find the texture is best when using chicken breasts.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 F.
  • Beat the egg with a whisk in a medium size bowl. Then add the chicken and shredded mozzarella to the bowl and mix until well combined.
  • Form rounded nuggets with the mixture using an ice cream scoop. I used a 2 inch wide scoop. Place the nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry the chicken nuggets for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
