Method

1. Briefly sauté the spinach in a pan with a drop of water until wilted, then squeeze out all excess moisture.
2. Finely mince the chicken breast together with the cooked spinach in a food processor.
3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the grated parmesan and a pinch of salt.
4. Shape the mixture into flat oval cutlets using your hands.
5. Dip each cutlet first into the beaten egg and then into the breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to coat.
6. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, drizzle with oil, and bake at 200°C for 15-18 minutes.
7. Turn the nuggets halfway through until both sides are golden and crispy.

Tips

• Squeezing the spinach very dry is key to preventing the nuggets from falling apart.
• For extra crunch, you can mix some crushed cornflakes into the breadcrumbs.
