4 oz ground chicken

0.5 cup cooked chickpea pasta

2 tbsp plain non-fat Greek yogurt

0.75 oz sharp cheddar cheese

1 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked chickpea pasta, ground chicken, Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

• 2

  In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg until smooth, then pour it into the pasta and chicken mixture, stirring until the binder is evenly distributed.

• 3

  In a shallow dish, mix the almond flour, parmesan cheese, and the remaining spices to create a light breading mixture.

• 4

  Using your hands or a scoop, form the pasta mixture into six firm, even-sized balls or thick discs.

• 5

  Gently roll each bite in the almond flour and parmesan mixture until lightly coated on all sides.

• 6

  Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

• 7

  Place the bites in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, pressing down slightly with a spatula, until the chicken is fully cooked and the crust is deeply golden and crisp.
