3 Ingredient Chicken Nuggets

 
 

Yields: 8 Nuggets

Ingredients:

  • 1 - 10oz can of chicken breast (drained)

  • 1 egg
    2 tbsp parmesan cheese 

  • 2 tbsp mozzarella cheese (You can also use all parm)

  • Optional seasonings - garlic powder 

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425F.

  2. Start by opening your canned chicken and draining. You will want to get as much moisture out as possible because you want your nuggets to be crispy. I even used a clean kitchen towel to get as much water out as possible.

  3. In a medium sized bowl, add your chicken, cheese and egg.

  4. Scoop your nuggets onto a parchment lined baking sheet and mold into your chicken nuggets

  5. Bake the nuggets for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. If you want them crispier, you can bake them for 5 mins longer.

Deconstructed Wonton Soup

This wonton-inspired chicken soup is cozy, nourishing, and deceptively simple. Fragrant ginger, garlic, and onion simmer in rich bone broth to create a deeply savory base, while tender spoon-dropped “wontons” cook directly in the soup, soaking up all that flavor without any fussy folding. Baby bok choy adds freshness and crunch, and a drizzle of chili oil at the table brings just the right amount of heat. It’s the kind of soup that feels comforting and restorative, equally perfect for a quiet weeknight or feeding a table full of people who need something warm and satisfying.
