Chicken Zucchini Poppers

 

Poppers:

• 1 lb. ground lean chicken
• 2 c. grated zucchini- I use my food processor (skin on)
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 3 T cilantro
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• s & p to taste
• 1 tsp cumin

In large bowl, mix together chicken, zucchini, green onion, egg, cheese, cilantro, garlic, & spices.

Scoop into small balls and put in a pan with olive oil and cook on medium to low heat for about 5- 6 minutes until slightly browned.

Then move to a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for about 8 -10 more minutes or until cooked through (depends on the size of your poppers).

Serve with an Avocado Citrus Dipping Sauce.

 

Avocado Sauce:

• 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
• juice of 1 orange
• zest and juice of 1 lime
• 1 Tbsp cilantro
