Chicken and apple balls

Grated apple adds a delicious flavour to these chicken balls and makes them appealing to young children. They are delicious hot or cold and you’ll get 20 from the below recipe:

Ingredients

2 tsp light olive oil 1 onion, chopped 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled and grated 2 large chicken breasts, cut into chunks ½ tbsp fresh parsley, chopped 1 tbsp fresh thyme, sage, or a pinch of mixed dried herbs 1 chicken stock cube, crumbled (only for babies older than one year) Plain flour for coating Vegetable oil for frying

Method

Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté half the onion for about 3 minutes. Using your hands, squeeze a little excess liquid from the grated apple. Mix the apple with the chicken, remaining raw onion, herbs and stock cube, and roughly chop in a food processor for a few seconds. Season with a little salt and pepper (only for babies older than one year). Using your hands, form about 20 little balls and roll them in flour. Fry in shallow oil for about five minutes, until lightly golden and cooked through.
