Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Garnish (Optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the chicken bombs evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken breast, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
- Form the Balls: Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, evenly sized balls. This helps them cook uniformly.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Make sure the chicken is diced very finely or use ground chicken for better texture.
- You can substitute almond flour with breadcrumbs if not following a gluten-free diet.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the chicken bombs, so check for doneness before serving.
- These chicken bombs can be served with a dipping sauce like marinara or ranch for added flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
