⚠️ Contains allergens: egg, gluten

Ingredients

• • 250 g Minced chicken breast
• • 1 Carrot (finely grated)
• • 1 small Zucchini (finely grated, squeezed dry)
• • 1 Egg
• • 4 tbsp Whole-wheat breadcrumbs
• • 1 tbsp Finely chopped parsley
• • 1 tbsp Olive oil (for brushing)

Directions

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 200°C and line a tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Squeeze the excess liquid from the grated carrot and zucchini with a clean cloth; if the zucchini stays watery the nuggets may fall apart.

3. 3

   In a bowl, mix the minced chicken, carrot, zucchini, egg, breadcrumbs and parsley thoroughly.

4. 4

   Take walnut-sized pieces of the mixture, press lightly into finger-thick ovals, and arrange on the tray.

5. 5

   Brush with a little olive oil; bake for 18-20 minutes, turning once, until lightly golden underneath and cooked through inside.

6. 6

   Let cool until lukewarm before serving and cut into finger-thick pieces for age 2. If serving for the first time, offer small pieces and always with supervision, in a seated position.
