Directions

1

Add carrot, onion, and celery to the Work Bowl. Process for 10 seconds to mince. Transfer the mixture to a clean bowl.

2

Add the chicken thighs and remaining ingredients to the Work Bowl. Pulse 3-4 times, then process to mix completely for roughly 15 seconds. Add carrot, onion and celery mixture back into the Work Bowl with the chicken mixture and process for 10 seconds, until ingredients are fully combined.

3

Remove the blade and form the mixture into 2-oz nuggets (roughly 2 Tbsp per nugget), then coat with panko breadcrumbs.

4

Line an air fryer drawer with parchment paper. Spray the drawer with oil, then air-fry nuggets in batches, making sure to leave enough space between each piece. Cook for a total of 20 minutes, flipping over at the 10-minute mark until the nuggets’ internal temperature reaches 165 F degrees.

Warning icon indicating caution

NEVER use the nutribullet Cup to blend hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients.
DO NOT blend for more than one minute when using the nutribullet Cup.

Blending hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients in a nutribullet Cup may result in over-pressurization, causing the Cup to forcefully separate when removed from the Motor Base or upon opening, which may expel hot contents and/or exposure to the blades, both of which may cause serious bodily injuries.
