Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups shredded zucchini

  • 1 1/2 lb ground chicken breast

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • Salt to taste

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Oil for frying I used grape oil

Directions

  • In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients. Mixture will be quite wet.
  • Scoop meatballs with a small scoop or heaped Tbsp and gently smooth with your hands. I can usually get around 20-24 poppers. You may be able to get more or less, depending on how large you size them.
