Ingredients

  • 500 g chicken mince
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup parmesan
  • ½ cup broccoli
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • If you find you have any questions about this recipe there is a tips and tricks section on the page which may answer some of the FAQs
  • Preheat the oven to 200 °C or approx 400 °F
  • Prep a baking tray, you can either oil it or line it with baking paper, I oil mine
  • Prep the broccoli, I love grating the stalk of a head of broccoli for this recipe. Remove the stalk, give it a rough peel, ie remove any very hard bits, then grate. You want around ½ a cup
  • Put all the ingredients in a bowl
    bowl with chicken mince, egg, bread crumbs, olive oil, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, grated broccoli stalk
  • Remove any rings, dampen/wet your hands with (it stops everything sticking to your fingers), get in there and scrunch everything around until it is well mixed
  • Use a spoon to make even sized balls I use my 15 ml tablespoon and get around 28 balls from the mix. roll them in your wet hands then place on the baking tray you prepared earlier

Notes

  • If you want to up the flavour a little a quite like this recipe with 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard, my kids don't though lol
  • A squirt of Worcestershire sauce can also be a nice addition
  • I don't season with extra salt as I use these for baby-led weaning, but you could add salt and pepper as you need
  • For a wheat-free option I have made these chicken rissoles with rolled oats instead of breadcrumbs
  • For an egg-free option, I have made this recipe with a chia egg (ie soak 1 tablespoon of chia seeds in 2 tablespoon of water, wait for them to gel then add to the mince mix.
  • Either eat them hot straight after cooking or pop them in the fridge and eat them cold over the next 2 days
  • You can free these chicken bites, pop them in the microwave and heat until piping hot when you want a little protein snack or quick kids meal
