Ingredients
- 500 g ground chicken
- 50 g almond flour
- 30 g parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until everything is well combined.
Step 4
With dampened hands, form the mixture into balls about the size of a golf ball, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. You should get approximately 16 meatballs.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Add the meatballs in batches to the skillet and cook just until they are browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. You don't need to cook them all the way through at this stage.
Step 7
Transfer the browned meatballs to the baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the meatballs hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, alongside your favorite low-carb sauce or vegetables.
