Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 shallot (minced)
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto (fresh or store-bought)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat, set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, shallot, breadcrumbs, parmesan, pesto, egg, salt, and pepper. Using a spatula or your hands, mix until combined.
  • Roll mixture into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place onto prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with oil (I prefer using pure avocado oil).
  • Place into oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Remove from the oven and serve with your favorite pasta dish or steamed vegetables.
