Sweet Potato Chicken Nuggets (Whole 30, Paleo)

Yup, another chicken recipe I’m afraid….

Desserts posts will have to wait until my jeans fit again (at least the stretchy ones)

Even though is a chicken post,  you’ll want to save this one because it is SO GOOD. My girls and husband go crazy for these nuggets.

Serve it with a side of guacamole which is Paleo friendly and dinner will be ready in a jiffy. A lot of the times I add a nice crisp green salad to balance out the sweetness.

To make them I start by mixing everything in a big bowl.

Just a bunch of chicken, shredded sweet potato and spices.

Then, just shape them into “nuggets” , place in a sheet pan and into the oven it goes.

How easy is that?

They are amazing when they bake.

As soon as I take them out of the oven my family swarm to the kitchen to steal them all.

Who could’ve thought that nuggets could be healthy?

Just by substituting a few ingredients it made a huge difference without sacrificing flavor.

Honestly, being on a diet sucks, plus, I don’t plan on making one meal for me and another one for my kids so these kinds of recipes are the perfect happy medium since everybody can eat a delicious dinner while maintaining to a regimen.

Now that I’ve tried these Sweet Potato Chicken Nuggets I am not going back to making them with regular flour, breadcrumbs and eggs again.

They are crunchy, sweet, savory, and so flavorful.

    Hi1 I am so excited to try these out on my family – I have some monster sweet potatoes from the farmers market that I need to use up. I have a quick question – Do you shred the sweet potato raw (like w a box grater) or do you bake the sweet potato, then mix the soft sweet potato with the other ingredients? In the recipe, it sounds like the former, but in the picture, it looks like the latter. Thanks for the clarification!

      Hi Julie, I shred it raw with a box grater. Then mix! Hope that helps

        Do you freeze raw? Do you defrost before heating?

          I freeze them raw and they go directly to the oven (no defrosting)

    Hey there! Do you think I could substitute whole wheat flour for the coconut flour? I know it wouldn’t be paleo then, but I don’t have coconut flour and I want to try them tonight!!

    Is there any way to make these with no flour(as in no nut flours or coconut flour, etc) ?

    Hi! Have you ever cooked and frozen these (rather than frozen them raw)?

    I made these today my 1 year old and they were at HIT! My husband tried them and also loved them… he “hates” sweet potato and I haven’t had the heart to tell him, and don’t know if I ever will 🙂

    These are absolutely delicious. I used my food processor to grind my own chicken because it’s not easy getting to the store these days. I also used white flour without any issues. I think they could be amazing in burger form too.! Thank you for sharing!
