Jalapeño Ranch Chicken Bites

👨‍🍳 Directions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Mix It Up: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, softened cream cheese, diced jalapeño, diced green onions, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, almond flour, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated — your hands work best for this step!
Shape the Bites: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange them on the baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each bite.
Bake: Bake the chicken bites in the preheated oven for 20–22 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. They should be firm to the touch and fully cooked in the center.
Serve: Serve warm with ranch dressing or a spicy yogurt dip on the side. These are perfect for parties, snacks, or meal prep!
