Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 1 egg
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 3

Using your hands, form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about the size of a golf ball. You should be able to make 16 to 18 meatballs.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches, searing each side until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Be careful when turning them to keep their shape.

Step 5

Transfer the seared meatballs to the prepared baking sheet. Once all meatballs are seared and transferred, bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired, alongside your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce or side dish.
