Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 150 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 50 ml Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
Step 3
Crack one egg into the mixture and mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 4
Shape the mixture into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball, and set them aside.
Step 5
In a shallow bowl, beat the remaining egg. In another shallow bowl, place the gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Step 6
Dip each chicken ball in the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 7
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken balls in batches, cooking them until they are golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 8
Once all the chicken balls are browned, transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken balls are fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm, accompanied with your favorite dip or sauce.
