   Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 180°C. Place a wire rack on a large baking sheet and spray it well with cooking spray.

   Add cauliflower florets to a food processor and pulse to make “cauliflower rice.”

   Whisk the egg in a medium bowl until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the seasonings.

   Dip the chicken mixture in the egg, shake off any excess, and then coat with breadcrumbs. Place chicken nuggets on the oven-safe cooling rack on top of a baking sheet.
