Baked Chicken Rissoles

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients: ground chicken, onion, carrot, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, herbs, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. With damp hands, shape the mixture into small patties or ovals (about the size of a flattened meatball).
4. Optional: Roll each rissole lightly in extra breadcrumbs for a crunchier exterior.
5. Place the rissoles on the baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F or 74°C).
7. Let rest a few minutes before serving.
