Oven-Baked Chicken Wafers

Oven-baked chicken wafers are an excellent idea for a light and tasty dish. This is a simple recipe that requires just a few steps. Here is the recipe for flavorful chicken wafers with an Italian touch.

Ingredients

• 500 g of chicken breast
• 50 g of grated parmesan
• 1 egg
• 1 clove of garlic
• Breadcrumbs as needed
• Chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and place them in a mixer along with the clove of garlic, having removed its core, then blend until you get a smooth mixture.
3. Transfer the chicken mixture to a bowl and add the egg, grated parmesan, a handful of breadcrumbs, the chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until you get a compact mixture; if it is too wet, add more breadcrumbs.
4. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with extra virgin olive oil.
5. Take a bit of the mixture and form balls, then gently flatten them between your hands to form wafers about half a centimeter thick and place them on the pan.
6. Brush the surface of the wafers with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle them with more breadcrumbs, to form a crispy crust when baking.
7. Bake the chicken wafers in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are well browned.
8. Once cooked, serve them hot with a fresh mixed salad or your choice of sauce.
