INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Cauliflower, chopped
1/4 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 Whole Egg
2 tbsp Almond Flour
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it's broken down into small, rice-like pieces. Alternatively, finely chop it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw chicken breast (cut into small bite-sized pieces or ground lightly), processed cauliflower, shredded cheddar cheese, whole egg, and almond flour.
Season the mixture with garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Add olive oil and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small, bite-sized balls or patties, ensuring a uniform shape for even baking.
Place the bites on the prepared baking tray and lightly drizzle or brush with a little extra olive oil if desired for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Turn them halfway through for even crisping.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them as a protein-packed snack or a main dish paired with your favorite healthy dipping sauce.
