Directions to prepare Chicken Meatballs Baked
Washing Cleaning and Chopping the Chicken Meat Balls mixture
To start with the recipe we need the chicken chunks to be cleaned and washed and then chopped into smaller pieces. Since I have used whole organic chicken breasts in two pieces which serve 4, I have just chopped them into smaller chunks as possible instead of using the minced ones. Once these are chopped they are ready to be used and mixed with the other ingredients.
Preparing the chicken Meat Ball Mixture
Into these chopped chicken meat add Mozzarella cheese shredded 1 cup, Almond flour 3/4 cup, All-purpose flour 2/3 cup + 1/4 cup that I used in portions while mixing these up. Sprinkle some garlic powder, salt as per taste, black pepper crushed 1/2 teaspoon, and mix them up using a spoon or spatula, and then finally add chopped spinach around two cups. Mix all the ingredients nicely using your hands to prepare these chicken meatballs. The texture of the mixture is soft and easy to be scooped out.
Cooking the mixture in some oil
Well, now the next step is to slightly sauté the mixture into some oil. This is because this enhances the taste and flavor and is important to be mixed with some oil before baking these chicken meatballs. Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil into a non-stick frying pan or wok and then fry one small thinly sliced onions 🧅 once the oil is heated.
When onions are slightly fried add the chicken mixture into it and cook 5 to 7 minutes on low flame by continuous stirring to avoid sticking. Let the mixture slightly cool down and prepare meatballs out of it. Use small portions to prepare and shape them as balls.
Baking:
Line up the Chicken balls on a baking tray on top of a baking sheet to avoid sticking. Then bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes. The balls start to leave oil and turn slightly golden brown in color. Take them out and enjoy hot with any sauce or gravy.
