Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Crack the egg into the bowl and mix everything together thoroughly. Using your hands or a spoon ensures the mixture is evenly combined.
Form the mixture into meatballs, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, careful not to overcrowd the pan. Brown the meatballs on all sides, which will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the browned meatballs back to the baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 15-18 minutes or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve with your favorite Whole30-compliant sauce or over a bed of zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
