Zucchini Chicken Nuggets

The addition of mild-tasting zucchini to this kid classic is a welcome surprise. The zucchini lends a slight moistness, without altering the chicken flavor. Served with a spoonful of homemade ranch dressing, this is a quick, easy meal that is sure to please everyone at your family dinner table.

1 1/2 c. zucchini, grated
1 lb. ground chicken
1 egg
1 tsp. onion salt
2 c. crushed corn flakes or bread crumbs

Method:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the zucchini, chicken, egg, and onion salt until well combined.
2. Form 1-2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into small balls, then press flat (until about 1/2 inch thick), and coat in bread crumbs.
3. Transfer to a lightly greased cookie sheet. Once all nuggets have been formed and breaded, spray a light layer of nonstick cooking spray over the nuggets.
4. Cook in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 13-15 minutes, or just until nuggets have cooked thoroughly.
