Chicken balls

Serves:

Ingredients

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

Method

Preheat oven to 180C. 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 entrÌ©e.
• If your kids cope with Green Bits, add half a cup of chopped coriander or parsley leaves to the mixture.
