5 oz ground chicken

1 large egg

0.5 cup zucchini

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Finely grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel, squeezing firmly to remove as much excess moisture as possible.

• 3

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, squeezed zucchini, egg, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Mix the ingredients by hand until just incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.

• 5

  Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture at a time and roll into small balls or nugget shapes.

• 6

  Place the almond flour in a shallow dish and lightly roll each bite in the flour until evenly coated.

• 7

  Arrange the bites on the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush or spray the tops with the extra virgin olive oil.

• 8

  Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, flipping the bites halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
