Ingredients
- 500g ground chicken
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Directions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, grated carrot, breadcrumbs, egg, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix everything together with your hands until well combined. Don’t be afraid to get messy, just like playing in the park with your little one!
-
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a ping pong ball. Make sure they are all roughly the same size so they cook evenly. If your toddler is helping, make sure they wash their hands before and after touching the raw chicken mixture.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken meatballs in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. You can cut one in half to check if it’s fully cooked, just like solving a tricky cybersecurity problem!
-
Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the pan and let them cool slightly before serving. You can serve them with a side of steamed veggies or mashed potatoes for a complete meal that even your toddler will love!
