Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken breast
- 3 large Egg whites
- 100 g Rolled oats
- 50 g Parmesan cheese
- 100 g Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 tsp Baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into chunks and place them into a food processor. Pulse until finely ground but not a paste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg whites, rolled oats, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, using your hands. Approximate uniform size ensures even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs with the baking powder to ensure extra crispiness.
Roll each chicken ball in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere properly.
Place the coated chicken balls on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over each ball to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dip or sauce.
