Directions
-
1
Polish the boneless chicken breasts thoroughly and chop them. Salt them and grind with a shredder glass until you get a fine paste. Mix this preparation with Philadelphia cheese in a bowl, with the help of a fork.

2
When you have it well mixed, if you see that the dough has been too soft to work with, add gluten-free breadcrumbs to thicken, until you notice that the dough has enough consistency.

3
With the help of two spoons, take a little bit of the dough, shape it into a ball and first pass it through gluten-free flour, crushing it a little with your hands and shaping it.
-
4
Saute the leftover flour and now pass it through a beaten egg, taking care that it doesn't break, drain a little, and now pass it through gluten-free breadcrumbs. Give it several turns, make it well battered and do the same with all the nuggets.

When you have them all battered, in a pan with very hot oil, you fry them for a couple of minutes on each side and transfer them to a plate with kitchen paper so that it absorbs the excess oil.

With these quantities, about 20 - 25 nuggets have come out. You can accompany them with mayonnaise, ketchup sauce or, for example, a very rich yogurt sauce, which I have published.
