Golden Macaroni and Cheese Bites
Deep-fried macaroni bites made with lean chicken and chickpea pasta, featuring a crispy golden exterior that gives way to a molten cheddar center.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz ground chicken
0.25 cup chickpea macaroni pasta
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 large egg
2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
0.75 tbsp avocado oil
PREPARATION
Boil the chickpea macaroni in salted water until al dente, drain, and finely chop.
Combine the ground chicken, chopped macaroni, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Form the mixture into 1-inch balls, pressing firmly to ensure they hold their shape.
Whisk the egg in a shallow dish and place the panko breadcrumbs in a separate bowl.
Roll each ball in the egg wash followed by the panko breadcrumbs until thoroughly coated.
Heat the avocado oil in a small high-sided pan and fry the balls until they are deep golden-brown and the chicken is cooked through.
