Ingredients

  • 500 grams Ground chicken
  • 100 grams Breadcrumbs
  • 60 ml Almond milk
  • 1 large Eggs
  • 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
  • 2 minced Garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and almond milk. Let it soak for a few minutes until all the liquid is absorbed.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.

Step 4

Add salt and black pepper to the mixture, and mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 5

Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add chicken balls to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

Step 7

Cook the chicken balls for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are browned.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet with browned chicken balls to the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken balls are cooked through.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as an appetizer, or add them to your favorite pasta or salad for a complete meal.
