Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 60 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 2 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 40 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 2

Mix everything thoroughly with your hands or a large spoon until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 3

Take small portions of the mixture (about 2 tablespoons each) and roll them into evenly sized balls. This recipe should make approximately 20 chicken balls.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the chicken balls on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).

Step 6

Remove the chicken balls from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Serve the grilled chicken balls with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish. They pair well with a creamy dipping sauce or a side salad.
