Ingredients
-
1 pound (450g) ground chicken
-
½ cup breadcrumbs
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 medium carrot, grated
-
½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
-
1 large egg
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
Olive oil spray (for crisping)
Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
-
Ground chicken
-
Breadcrumbs
-
Onion
-
Garlic
-
Grated carrot
-
Fresh parsley
-
Egg

Salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano
Mix thoroughly until well combined. Use clean hands or a spoon to avoid overworking the mixture.
3. Shape the Rissoles:
Form the mixture into small round patties (about the size of a golf ball) and gently flatten. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake:
Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray for a golden finish.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through if desired, until the rissoles are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
