Sweet Potato-Crusted Chicken Nuggets image

I'm going to try making these nuggets with different vegetables. I think zucchini or carrots would be a good addition.

I think this recipe would be better with a different type of coating. Maybe almond flour or panko breadcrumbs.

This recipe is a great idea, but it needs some tweaking. The sweet potato crust was too thick and it overpowered the chicken.

I love that this recipe uses sweet potatoes instead of bread crumbs. It's a healthier option and it tastes just as good.

These chicken nuggets were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sweet potato crust added a delicious flavor.
