Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts (5 oz each)
  • 3 oz cheese
  • 3 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 egg
  • flour

Instructions
 

  • Set out 4 bowls and place ½ cup of mayonnaise in each one. For the sweet chili mayo, add 3 tbsp sweet chili sauce and 1 tbsp cilantro to the first bowl and mix everything together with a spoon. For the wasabi mayo, add 1 tbsp wasabi and 1 tsp black sesame seeds to the second bowl and mix everything together with a spoon. For the cranberry mayo, add 2 tbsp cranberry sauce and black pepper to the third bowl and mix everything together with a spoon. For the sour cream mayo, add ¼ cup of sour cream and 1 tbsp chives to the fourth bowl and mix everything together with a spoon.
  • Chop the chicken breasts into tiny pieces and add them to a bowl. Cut the cheese into small pieces and add it to the meat, together with the egg and corn starch. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together until even.
  • Fill another bowl with flour and toss small portions of the raw meat in it. Use your hands to shape the meat into typical chicken nugget shapes and then cook the nuggets on both sides in oil in a pan over medium heat until crispy.
