Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato (or fully cooked and cubed sweet potato)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder (optional; you could also add garlic powder or dried oregano)
- ½ cup regular or panko-style bread crumbs (plain or Italian-flavor)
- Mash together the chicken, sweet potato, salt, and onion powder in a medium bowl with a potato masher or a large fork. Place the bread crumbs into a separate shallow bowl.
- Form the chicken mixture into 1-tablespoon-size balls and roll in bread crumbs.
- Flatten slightly (or form into tot-shapes) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optional: Spray or brush lightly with olive oil.
- Bake for 22-24 minutes at 375 degrees F or until golden brown on the bottom and cooked through.
- Remove from oven, let cool for a minute or two and serve warm.
- (To cook in an air fryer, place onto a greased tray or basket and cook for 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees F. I don't turn over in the middle of cooking.)
