Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 100 grams Almond flour
• 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 pieces Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.

Step 3

Beat the eggs and add them to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should be able to make approximately 16-20 balls.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the chicken balls to the skillet in batches, ensuring they are spaced apart. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the browned chicken balls to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken balls are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).

Step 9

Remove the chicken balls from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
