Equipment

  • Large Baking Sheet
  • High Speed Blender or Food Processor

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Sweet Potatoes or Yams I prefer yam as they aren’t quite as sweet, about 1 medium yam, peeled and chopped
  • 1 pound Ground Chicken
  • 3 tablespoons Tapioca Flour
  • 2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Rub the olive oil over a large baking sheet and then set aside.
  • Add the sweet potatoes to a high-speed blender or food processor then blend until about the size of rice.
  • Add the sweet potatoes along with the chicken, tapioca flour, garlic powder, onion powder and salt to a large mixing bowl.
  • Using your hands or a spoon, mix until completely combined. To form the poppers, roll them into a ball then flatten until they are about 1 inch thick and in the shape of an egg. They should look like chicken nuggets. Place the finished poppers on the baking sheet.
  • Place the entire baking sheet into the oven for 40 minutes, flipping halfway. Once finished, remove the oven and serve immediately.
