Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Chicken I used 97/3
- 6 oz 168g Freshly Shredded Cheddar
- 1 1/2 C 180g All Purpose Flour
- 2 Tbsp 24g Swerve Granular (or a granulated sugar substitute)
- 2 Tbsp 24g Swerve Brown (or a brown sugar substitute)
- 1/2 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2-1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Sage
- 1/2 tsp Allspice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl or stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
- Add the ground chicken and cheese. Mix until little to no dry ingredients remain. Use a spatula or your hands to fully incorporate any remaining dry ingredients.
- Use your hands or a small scooper to form balls with the mixture and place them on a wire rack over a baking sheet.* (Yes, you can bake directly on the sheet.)
- Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the chicken sausage balls reach an internal temperature of 165F.**
Notes
* For even sausage balls, you can weigh the entire mixture and divide by the number of balls you'd like to make. Then weigh each ball as you go. This will take a bit more time than eyeballing it like I did!
** If you make larger/smaller sausage balls, cook time may be affected. Adjust accordingly.
