Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
Beat the eggs and add them to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should be able to make approximately 16-20 balls.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken balls to the skillet in batches, ensuring they are spaced apart. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.
Transfer the browned chicken balls to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken balls are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
Remove the chicken balls from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
