Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 60 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 40 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Mix everything thoroughly with your hands or a large spoon until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Take small portions of the mixture (about 2 tablespoons each) and roll them into evenly sized balls. This recipe should make approximately 20 chicken balls.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken balls on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
Remove the chicken balls from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the grilled chicken balls with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish. They pair well with a creamy dipping sauce or a side salad.
