INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 200c / 400f and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion and carrot, over a low heat, until soft. (For around 5 mins)
  • In a small bowl, pour the milk over the breadcrumbs and allow to sit for 5 mins. 
  • Place the apple and pear onto a clean cloth and squeeze as much juice as you can out of them. (save the juice for smoothies etc)
  • Add all the ingredients, apart from the ground chicken, to a mixing bowl and mix with your hands until all the ingredients are mixed together. Add the chicken mince and then gently mix, with your hands, until just combined. 
  • Shape tablespoons of the mixture into balls and place on the lined baking tray. (I made 28 balls.) 
  • Place in the oven and bake for approx. 20 mins, until golden and cooked through. Alternatively shallow fry, in batches, for around 6 minutes, until golden on both sides and cooked through.
