This is another fantastic Whole 30 approved recipe. Who doesn’t love chicken nuggets? These are particularly yummy with a hint of sweetness from the sweet potato, perfectly sized for dipping. The nuggets are surprisingly easy to make too. I knew as soon as I first saw the recipe on Unbound Wellness that I had to try it. It did not disappoint! Nathan and I have been perfecting our version ever since, trying to figure out the ideal size and shape to make the nuggets crispy but not overcooked. Nathan made one funny batch with every nugget different- from big meatballs to eggroll-like to small discs. The recipe is so tasty, we’ve made it at least four times in the last few months. That’s frequent repetition for us! We like them dipped in guacamole, ketchup, or barbecue sauce. What would you dip them in? Share in the comments. Sweet potato chicken nuggets
