Creating Heart-Shaped Chicken Nuggets is a fun and rewarding experience. Follow these steps to make your own:

1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until everything is well combined.
2. Shape the Nuggets: Take a small amount of the mixture and shape it into a heart. You can use a heart-shaped cookie cutter for uniformity or simply mold it by hand.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan, heat about ½ inch of cooking oil over medium heat until it’s hot but not smoking.
4. Fry the Nuggets: Carefully place the heart-shaped nuggets in the hot oil. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
5. Drain: Once cooked, remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. Repeat: Continue shaping and frying the remaining mixture until all nuggets are cooked.
7. Serve Warm: Transfer the nuggets to a serving platter and let them cool slightly before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll have a batch of delightful Heart-Shaped Chicken Nuggets ready to enjoy!
