NOTES

Using ground chicken from Thigh is much more tender than using the chicken breast. But you can use chicken breast if you want.

You can use block mozzarella cheese instead of shredded cheese.

Make sure you wet your hand with water before assembling the chicken. This will prevent the ground chicken from sticking to your hand.

You can make your sandwich using this chicken nugget, and serve it with fries.
