Ingredients:

  • 1 Avocado peeled and pit removed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 c Fresh Cilantro chopped
  • 1.5 tbsp Garlic minced or pressed
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil plus additional, if needed

Instructions:

  • Peel avocado, remove pit, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Chop cilantro and mince garlic. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, cilantro, and garlic. Add avocado and gently combine, careful to not crush into smaller pieces. Form into mixture into desired nugget size.
  • In a large skillet, melt coconut oil over medium heat until oil is shimmering.
  • Place nuggets in oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side, until nuggets reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Watch nuggets closely as some might cook faster than other.
  • Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove nuggets from skillet and place on a towel-lined plate.
  • Add additional coconut oil to skillet after each batch, as needed. Continue cooking in batches until all remaining nuggets are cooked.
  • If needed, reheat nuggets in oven at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes.
  • Serve nuggets with your favorite side dish.
