Method
-
Mince the chicken breast in a food processor if it is not already minced. Mix with the cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt and black pepper until combined.
-
Plan for 3 air-fryer batches; the stated total is an estimate for that schedule. If your basket needs more batches, allow extra time and do not stack the food.
-
With damp hands, shape 18 nuggets of roughly 40 g each, no more than 1.5 cm thick. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
-
Coat each piece in the flour, then beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C for 5 minutes. Spray the olive oil over the nuggets.
-
Cook at 195°C for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway, until the centre reaches 74°C.
