Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 50 grams almond flour
- 1 small, finely chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, almond flour, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, egg, sea salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, around 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the chicken balls lightly with olive oil to help them brown and add juiciness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken balls are cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
