Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, chopped parsley, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into golf ball-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  4. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
  5. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add milk, whisking until smooth. Stir in Parmesan, mozzarella, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, simmering until creamy.
  6. Pour the creamy Parmesan sauce over the baked chicken bombs, broil for 3–5 minutes until bubbling and lightly golden.
  7. Serve over mashed potatoes or cauliflower purée, garnished with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.
