Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 ml Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, almond flour, parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well combined and the mixture holds together.
Step 3
Form the chicken mixture into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball. You should have about 16 balls.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Step 5
Carefully place the chicken balls in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. You may need to cook them in batches.
Step 6
Fry the chicken balls for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the chicken balls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, or alongside a salad for a light meal.
