Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and egg.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the green onions, then add them to the bowl.
Add the soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the mixture.
Use your hands or a spatula to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well combined.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the chicken mixture and form into balls roughly 1.5 inches in diameter.
Place the chicken balls onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they're evenly spaced.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken balls to help them brown and keep moist.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the chicken balls are golden brown and fully cooked through, with an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
Once cooked, remove the chicken balls from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken balls warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a complement to your main dish.
