Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, grated parmesan, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the mixture well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. The mixture should be firm enough to hold shape when formed into balls.
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the mixture into approximately 20 small balls and place them on a plate.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken balls in batches and sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown.
Transfer the skillet with the chicken balls into the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken balls reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken balls rest for a few minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of low-carb dipping sauce or a side of vegetables.
