Deep-Fried Mac & Cheese Balls
Air-fried shredded chicken and whole grain pasta balls for a satisfyingly crunchy take on mac and cheese.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz cooked shredded chicken breast
0.25 cup cooked whole wheat macaroni
0.5 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 large egg
0.25 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp avocado oil
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.13 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, macaroni, shredded cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is sticky enough to hold its shape.
Form the mixture into four equal-sized balls, pressing firmly to ensure they stay together.
Place the beaten egg in one small bowl and the panko breadcrumbs in another.
Dip each ball into the egg to coat, then roll in the breadcrumbs until evenly covered.
Lightly coat the balls with avocado oil and air fry at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes until the exterior is crispy and the cheese is melted.
