Ingredients
For the crunchy crumb coating:
1 3/4 cups cornflakes
1 slice whole grain bread, made into crumbs (or use prepared breadcrumbs)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup natural unsweetened yoghurt (runny, not thick)
For the nuggets:
1 boneless chicken breast, minced (or approx 250g chicken mince)
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 slices wholemeal bread
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon chicken stock powder, dissolved in a few drops of boiling water
1 egg
pinch salt
Freshly ground black pepper
cooking spray
Instructions
Place the cornflakes in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin to make fine crumbs. Combine the cornflake crumbs in a bowl with the breadcrumbs and black pepper.
Place the yoghurt into a separate bowl and set aside.
Combine the minced chicken, onion, seasonings and breadcrumbs, then add the egg. Mix well. Using wet hands, form into 16 balls. The mixture is quite soft at this stage so treat it gently.
Might be easier to form balls, then refrigerate before coating.
Flatten each ball slightly to form a patty, then using a fork, dip a nugget into the yoghurt. When coated on both sides, gently shake off any excess and place into the crumbs. Use a separate fork for coating with the crumbs and when coated, place on a greased tray.
Continue until all the nuggets are coated and then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
To cook the prepared nuggets, spray them lightly with cooking spray and cook under a moderate grill for around 20 minutes, turning twice during cooking to avoid burning. Serve hot with plenty of sauce for dunking.
