Chicken balls recipe

Ingredients:

    1 small onion
    600g chicken mince
    ½ cup cornflake crumbs (gluten-free)
    ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
    1 egg, lightly beaten
    Sweet chilli sauce, to serve

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Finely chop the onion – I used the bowl attachment of my stab-mixer.

Combine onion, chicken, cornflake crumbs, cheese and egg in a large bowl.

Mix until well combined and roll tablespoons of mixture into small balls.

Place balls on tray and bake for 30 minutes until golden and sizzling.

Notes:

- These balls are great because they are oven-baked, not fried, can be made in advance and then cooked just before serving.

- Serve with a salad for a main meal or on their own as an appetiser or entrée.

- If your kids cope with Green Bits, add ¼ cup of chopped coriander or parsley leaves to the mixture.
