Appetizers, Poultry, Snack

Ingredients

1 lb. ground chicken breast

2 c grated zucchini (leave peel on)

2-3 green onions sliced

3-4 tablespoons cilantro minced

1 clove garlic

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

(optional: ¾ tsp cumin)

olive oil for cooking (or coconut oil, avocado oil, or ghee)

Directions

Toss chicken with zucchini, green onion, cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper (and cumin, if using). Mixture will be quite wet.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Use a small scoop or a heaped tablespoon to scoop meatballs into the pan. Cook 8-10 at a time for about 5-6 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook an additional 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and the centers are cooked through.

Serve with guacamole, salsa, or your favorite dip.
