Instructions
1
Peel the apple (optional) and grate it on the finest side of the grater. If the apple is very juicy, gently squeeze it between your palms to remove excess juice.
2
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken meat, grated apple, minced garlic, sage, thyme, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
3
Thoroughly mix the mixture with your hands so that the spices and apple are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
4
With dampened hands, shape the mixture into meatballs of the desired size (usually about 8–10 smaller flat rounds).
5
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs for 4–5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and fully cooked through in the center.
6
Remove the meatballs from the pan and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving, so the juices in the meat can settle.
Nutritional benefits
Thanks to the high content of lean chicken protein and the addition of apple as a natural source of fiber, this meal supports muscle recovery and provides long-lasting fullness.
