Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 cups sweet potato (finely shredded)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (softened)
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 sprigs green onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (omit for AIP)
  • Optional: 1 tsp paprika (omit for AIP)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, finely shredded sweet potato, softened coconut oil, coconut flour, chopped green onion, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and optional paprika. Gently mix using your hands or a silicone spatula until fully incorporated.
  3. Form Poppers: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, portion the mixture into small round poppers about one inch in diameter. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly flatten each popper with your hand.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 28-30 minutes, flipping the poppers halfway through the cooking time. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the poppers are cooked through.
  5. Optional Crisping: For an extra crispy exterior, broil the poppers for 1-2 minutes after baking. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the poppers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These poppers are perfect for dipping; serve with guacamole, ketchup, mustard, or your favorite sauce.

Notes

  • For an Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) friendly version, omit black pepper and paprika.
  • Ensure sweet potatoes are finely shredded for better texture and binding.

  • Can be served as a snack, appetizer, or part of a meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
