Calories: 29kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Zucchini, grated with peeling on
- 1 lb ground chicken
- ¼ cup onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- Shred the zucchini with the peeling on and place into a large mixing bowl.
- Add in all the other ingredients, ground chicken, onion, garlic, salt, paprika and Parmesan cheese, and mix well until well blended.
- Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray or line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat the aluminum foil with olive oil. You want to avoid the Zucchini Chicken Bites from sticking.
- Take a Tablespoon of the Zucchini Chicken Bite batter and roll it into a loose ball. Place the balls 1 inch apart on the cookie sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Once the 20 minutes is up, turn your oven to broil. Let the Zucchini Chicken Bites broil for about 5 minutes, or until the tops turn brown and crispy.
- Let these cool for about 5 minutes before eating. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Notes
- These Zucchini Chicken Bites bake really well on a flexipan, so if you have one, use it!
- Ensure the Zucchini Chicken Bites are at a temperature of 165 degrees before removing them from the oven. 20 minutes plus the 5 minutes of broiling should cook them fully, but it's always good to double check!
