Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons 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 bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chopped parsley.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Using your hands works best for an even mixture.
With your hands, form the mixture into small balls, approximately the size of a golf ball. You should be able to make about 20 chicken balls.
Place the chicken balls on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced slightly apart.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken balls to ensure they stay moist and get a nice golden color during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the juicy chicken balls warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a main dish.
