Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground chicken
- 2 cup mangoes diced small, about 1 cup
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 3 eggs beaten
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jalapeño finely chopped
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup oil for frying coconut oil or avocado oil are my favorite
Instructions
- Add all ingredients (except for the cooking oil for frying) into a bowl and combine thoroughly.
- Once combined, roll about 2 tablespoon of the meat mixture into balls.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the cooking oil to the pan.
- When the oil is hot, carefully add the meatballs into the pan. You will likely need to do this in batches.
- Cook each side one the meatball for about 3 to 4 minutes until it is lightly browned on the outside and cooked fully on the inside.
- Remove the meatballs onto a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve and enjoy!
