Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the chicken bombs.
- Mix the 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 thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form the chicken bombs: Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls about the size of a golf ball. This will help them cook evenly and maintain their shape during baking.
- Prepare for baking: Place each formed ball onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy cleanup.
- Bake: Bake the chicken bombs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the chicken bombs from the oven and optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is diced uniformly to promote even cooking.
- You can substitute almond flour with crushed pork rinds for a different texture if desired.
- These chicken bombs freeze well; reheat in the oven to keep them crispy.
- Adjust garlic and onion powder quantities to suit your taste.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the mixture.
