I tried these and loved them. Chicken Zucchini Poppers make a really quick, light meal that kids will go crazy for. Try this recipe and let me know how you like it. I think it’s a great alternative to fast-food nuggets.
INGREDIENTS:
→ 1 pound ground chicken breast
→ 2 cups grated zucchini (with peel on)
→ 2 to 3 green onions, sliced
→ 3 to 4 tablespoons cilantro, minced
→ 1 clove garlic, minced
→ 1 teaspoon salt
→ 1/2 teaspoon pepper
→ 1 tablespoon Parmesean cheese
→ 2 tablespoons Panko bread crumbs
→ 1 tablespoon chopped nuts
→ Optional – 1 sweet sausage link (taken out of the casing and mixed with the chicken breast)
INSTRUCTIONS:
→ 1. Mix ground chicken and other ingredients in a large bowl.
→ 2. Grease a frying pan or skillet with olive oil. From the bowl, spoon out 8 to 10 nugget-sized dollops into the skillet.
→ 3. Over medium heat, cook the chicken poppers for 5 minutes on each side.
→ 4. You can eat them plain or serve them with your favorite dip or sauce.
