Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F.
- Add the yams and chicken to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Then add in the chopped parsley, olive oil, turmeric, salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Blend until the mixture is homogeneous. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a little more olive oil to help bind the ingredients together.
- Form the mixture into small balls or patties, depending on your preference. To shape the balls, you can rub a little olive oil on your hands, which makes it easier to shape them and prevents the mixture from sticking to your hands. You can use an ice cream spoon to measure the mixture and ensure even-sized balls. Next, roll the mixture between your palms until you form a smooth ball. If you prefer, you can coat the balls in cassava flour before baking.
- Place the balls or patties on a greased baking tray and bake in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until golden.
- Serve your Healthy Chicken and Yam Balls hot with your choice of dipping sauce or a side salad for a complete meal.
