INGREDIENTS

4 oz Chicken breast

0.5 cup Whole wheat elbow macaroni

0.75 oz Sharp cheddar cheese

1 tbsp Parmesan cheese

1 large Egg

2 tbsp Whole wheat panko breadcrumbs

0.5 tbsp Avocado oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat macaroni, finely diced chicken breast, shredded cheddar, and grated parmesan.

• 2

  Season the mixture with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, stirring until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the cheese begins to bind the mixture.

• 3

  Firmly press and roll the mixture into small balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, ensuring they are tightly packed so they hold their shape.

• 4

  Prepare two small bowls: one with the beaten egg and one with the panko breadcrumbs.

• 5

  Dip each ball into the egg wash, then roll it in the panko breadcrumbs until the surface is completely and evenly coated.

• 6

  Lightly coat the bites with avocado oil and place them in an air fryer basket at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
