Hosting a party? If so, then you've got to make our Not-Fried Chicken Cheese Balls! They feature the delicious trio of chicken, cheese, and bacon in an easy-to-eat form. Your guests will love taking a bite out of these (and you'll love how simple they are to make!).
What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 4 slices crispy-cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 2 eggs, beaten
What to Do
- In a shallow dish, place bread crumbs; set aside. In a large bowl, combine chicken, bacon, flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cheese, and parsley; mix well. Stir in eggs until thoroughly combined. Form mixture into 1-inch balls, then roll in bread crumbs.
- Place chicken balls in a single layer in air fry basket (see Note). Set to 400 degrees F and cook 8 minutes or until golden. Repeat with remaining balls. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you don't happen to have an air fryer - no worries! You can make this in your oven too. Just preheat your oven to 375 degrees F, and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden.
- We happen to think these Chicken Bacon Balls are extra-tasty when they're dipped into some ranch dressing. Yum!

These sound wonderful for Christmas appetizers. I need to make them the night before Christmas however. Is there any way these can be reheated and still be good?
