Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, almond flour, coconut flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, parsley, and chives. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2
Using your hands, form the mixture into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. You should have about 20-24 chicken balls.
Step 3
In a large frying pan, heat coconut oil over medium heat until hot.
Step 4
Place the chicken balls in the frying pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking. You may need to do this in batches.
Step 5
Cook the chicken balls for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to turn them gently.
Step 6
Once the chicken balls are cooked, remove them from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the Paleo Crispy Chicken Balls warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy them as is or pair them with your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
