Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground chicken
- 100 g gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 small, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 60 ml milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly using your hands until all ingredients are well combined. The mixture should hold together well.
Use your hands to form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Ensure they are compact enough to hold their shape.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Place the chicken balls into the skillet and sear on all sides until they are golden brown. This should take about 5 minutes.
Once browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake the chicken balls for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the juices run clear.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken balls rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken balls warm with your choice of dipping sauce or over pasta or rice.
