    Ingredients to make Thermomix Chicken Parma Balls.

    How to Make Chicken Parma Balls in the Thermomix:

    1. Grate the carrot and zucchini.
    2. Add the chicken mince, herbs, crushed garlic, grated parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and mix well.

    Tips for Making Thermomix Chicken Parma Balls:

    • You can make your own chicken mince using chicken breasts. Chop the chicken into 5cm pieces and blitz on speed 4 until desired consistency is achieved.
    • If you don’t have any zucchini or carrot, these ingredients can be omitted sweet potato can also be used.
    • You can use 2 x 400 gram tins of crushed tomatoes can be used in place of pasta.
    • If the balls are too soft to handle (which can happen due to the water content in chicken mince), add an additional ¼ cup of breadcrumbs and place the mixture into the fridge for 30 minutes to firm.
    • I always cook these meatballs in the oven. You could of course steam them in the Varoma if you prefer - but I personally like the texture and flavour better when they're baked in the oven.
    • This recipe can be halved.
    • Freeze any leftover baked Chicken Parma Balls in the freezer for up to three months.

      Love this recipe! My 9 month old can’t have gluten, what do you think would be the best substitute for the breadcrumbs? Thank you! 🙂

        Hi Jessi, you can buy gluten-free breadcrumbs and panko crumbs from any major supermarket (including Woolworths and Coles)

      If you are going to cook this in the oven instead of the Verona, what temperature and for how long?

        I assume you mean in the Varoma instead of in the oven, and I'd suggest 25 minutes, Varoma (Steaming) Temperature, Speed 1; and then test one to make sure it's cooked. You'll need a minimum of 500ml of water in the Thermomix 🙂
