Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until everything is well combined.
Scoop about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a ball using your palms. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken balls to the skillet, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart to not overcrowd the pan.
Cook the chicken balls for about 5 minutes or until they are golden brown on all sides, gently turning them as necessary.
Once browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken balls are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken balls rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot as a main dish or with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
