Chicken and Mushroom Nuggets with Homemade Mayonnaise

Chicken and mushroom are my all time favorite ingredients.They are so made for each other.I have been trying so many recipes with mushrooms,cause mushrooms  are high in antioxidant,heart-healthy ,overall very nutritious vegetable. I love chicken nuggets.They are so simple and so tasty.Today I have decided to cook chicken nuggets with mushroom with  extra spice on it.  I have used ginger and garlic paste and some dry onion powder, ginger powder,I didn’t have garlic powder so I could not use it (I love garlic powder),some paprika and chili powder for extra kick. I have also made mayonnaise with the nuggets,we can always use the store bought mayonnaise,but as they are so easy and quicker to make and tastes much better than store-bought.I have used one clove of garlic into my mayonnaise .Trust me once you start making mayonnaise at home ,you will never like the prepared one.

To make the mayonnaise:

Food processor

An egg

1 teaspoon dijon mustard paste or powder.

1 garlic clove (grated).

pinch of salt.

Black pepper (optional).

1 and a half cup of olive oil.

In the food processor put everything.Process them for 1 minute and start adding the oil  from the top whole  of the processor while it’s still running.Add the oil little at a time.It will take 2 to 3 minutes to become silky  mayonnaise.

Dice the chicken into small pieces and mince them.I have used chicken thigh because they are juicier , but you may use chicken breast.Dice the mushroom into small pieces.Mix  all ingredients and keep them aside,by the time you prepare the coating.At this time preheat the oven to 250 degrees for 13 minutes.
