Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh vegetables for the puree. This will give the nuggets a more vibrant flavor and color.
  • Be sure to cook the vegetables until they are very soft. This will help them blend smoothly into the puree.

  • When forming the nuggets, be sure to pack the mixture tightly. This will help them hold their shape during cooking.
  • You can bake or fry the chicken nuggets. If you're baking them, be sure to spray the baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent them from sticking.
