Difficulty: easy

Ingredients:

• 1 lb             ground chicken breast 
• 1 large        egg
• 1/4 cup      Mayonnaise
•  1/2 cup      Cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup      Cornstarch

• 1/2 tspn     Cayenne powder (optional)
                  

Preparation:

-In a bowl, combine all the ingredients: chicken, beaten egg, mayo, cheese, cornstarch, salt & pepper. (Cayenne powder is optional. Remove if you don’t like it spicy)
– Mix until well combined. Add cornstrach if the mixture is wet and runny.
– Heat oil in a pan and drop a heaping spoon of meat mixture. Press lightly to flatten the mixture (or form your desired shape). 
– Fry the nuggets (on medium heat) on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve while hot.

(Tips: why mayonaise? It makes white meat like chicken breast & fish moist and tender when fried on high heat. Cornstarch makes the breading crispy compared to flour.)
