Peel the sweet potatoes and roughly chop them.

Add the chopped sweet potatoes to a food processor.

Remove as much moisture from the sweet potatoes as possible by sandwiching them between paper towels and pressing down hard.

Pat the sweet potatoes down a second time with paper towels.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the sweet potatoes, ground chicken, chopped green onion, almond flour, softened coconut oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Cook a small bite of the mixture to taste test and adjust seasoning if needed.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and rub some coconut oil on it.

Roll the chicken and sweet potato mixture into balls, about a quarter cup for each one.

Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and slide them into the oven.

Cook for 20 minutes, then flip the nuggets over and cook for another 12 minutes.

While the nuggets are cooking, make a quick batch of guacamole by mashing a ripe avocado and mixing it with lime juice, garlic powder, and salt.

After 32 minutes total cooking time, the nuggets should be done. Serve with guacamole.
