Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 50 grams almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 small, finely diced onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 30 grams, grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, almond flour, egg, onion, garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Use your hands for best results to ensure even distribution.
Using your hands or a small ice cream scoop, shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Drizzle the meatballs lightly with olive oil to help them brown and crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce or over a bed of steamed vegetables as a main course.
