Oatmeal Nuggets
2 servings
30 minutes
Oatmeal nuggets are tender pieces of chicken breast infused with the aroma of Italian herbs and spices, wrapped in a crispy oatmeal crust. This recipe is a modern interpretation of classic nuggets but with a healthier approach. The kefir in the marinade makes the meat soft and juicy, while the oats create an airy yet crunchy texture without excess oil. The dish is perfect for those who want to enjoy the taste of nuggets but prefer healthier options. They can be served with light sauces or fresh vegetables. They make an excellent snack, appetizer, or a full dinner that the whole family will enjoy.
