What to add to your trolley:
- 500g Chicken Mince
- 2 cups finely chopped soft cooked Broccoli
- ½ cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 1 ½ cup shredded Mozzarella/Cheddar cheese
- 1 Egg
- ¾ cup Breadcrumbs (or almond flour for low-carb)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- ¾ cup finely chopped Onion
- 1 teaspoon dried Oregano
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- Salt & Black Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for baking or frying)
How to prepare the deliciousness:
1. Prep the Ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) if baking. Cook and finely chop the broccoli so it mixes well into the mince. Crumble the feta and shred the mozzarella or cheddar.
2. Mix the Meatball mixture:
In a large bowl, combine chicken mince, broccoli, feta, shredded cheese, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.
3. Make the Meatballs:
Roll the mixture into the required size balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased tray. (You can also flatten the meatballs and use it as patties/sliders for a delicious chicken burger).
Option 1: Bake
Lightly brush the meatballs with olive oil. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20 - 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Option 2: Pan-fry
Heat 1 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs for about 4 - 5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve warm with yogurt dip or a side of salad. Garnish with fresh parsley for extra flavour.
