- Onion 25 g
- Chicken egg 1 pcs
- Breadcrumbs 100 g
- Salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
For the sauce
- Mayonnaise 1 tbsp

Directions
Step 1

Thoroughly wash and dry the meat with paper towels. Wash the vegetables and egg well. Peel the onion, garlic, and zucchini. Prepare a blender, parchment paper, a baking sheet, and a grater.
Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into small cubes.
Step 3

Transfer the meat to the blender bowl and grind to a puree. Transfer the finished ground meat to a bowl.
TipTo puree the meat more evenly, start grinding it on low speed and gradually increase to maximum.
Step 4

Cut the zucchini into medium-sized pieces.
Step 5

Cut the onion into pieces the same size as the zucchini.
Step 6

Place the vegetables in the blender and blend until smooth.
Step 7

Transfer the pureed vegetables to the bowl with the chicken breast.
Step 8

Add the egg, salt, pepper to taste, and 2 tbsp of breadcrumbs to the ground meat, then mix all ingredients well.
Step 9

In a separate bowl, place the remaining breading mixture. Form small nuggets from the finished ground meat and roll them in the breadcrumbs on all sides.
Step 10

Place the nuggets in a baking dish. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. When the oven is hot, place the baking sheet with the nuggets inside and bake for about 25 minutes.
TipGrease the baking sheet with vegetable oil, dust with flour, or line with parchment. Check the nuggets for doneness yourself, as cooking time may vary depending on the oven's power.
Step 11

Grate the garlic cloves on a fine grater or press them through a garlic press.
Step 12

In a bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and minced garlic. Mix the sauce thoroughly.
Step 13

Transfer the nuggets to a plate and place the garlic sauce alongside.
