Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 ml Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, almond flour, parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well combined and the mixture holds together.
Form the chicken mixture into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball. You should have about 16 balls.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Carefully place the chicken balls in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. You may need to cook them in batches.
Fry the chicken balls for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the chicken balls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, or alongside a salad for a light meal.
