Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

2 cloves garlic, crushed

19.1 oz ground chicken breast

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup panko bread crumbs

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

cooking spray

Directions

In a bowl, mix butter, parsley, and garlic until well combined. Divide mixture into 12 equal parts on a baking sheet. Freeze until solid, about 20 minutes.

Shape chicken into 12 balls. Make a deep thumbprint in the center of each ball. Place a piece of frozen herbed butter in the center and wrap meat around it until fully covered. Repeat with remaining balls.

Beat eggs in a bowl. In another bowl, combine panko, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Dip 1 chicken ball into beaten eggs, then into seasoned bread crumbs. Dip the ball back into egg and into seasoned bread crumbs again. Repeat with remaining balls. Place on a baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes.

Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Place half of the balls in the air fryer basket, and spray them with cooking spray.

Cook for 5 minutes. Flip balls over with tongs and spray again with cooking spray. Cook for another 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining chicken balls.
