Baked Chicken Rissoles

—

### Instructions:

1. **Preheat your oven** to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. **Mix the ingredients**: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—don’t overwork the mixture.

3. **Shape the rissoles**: Scoop a small handful of the mixture and shape into flat, round patties (about the size of your palm). If desired, coat each in additional breadcrumbs for extra crunch.

4. **Arrange on baking tray**: Place the rissoles on the prepared tray. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil to help them brown.

5. **Bake** for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F or 74°C).

6. **Serve warm**: Great with mashed potatoes, a dollop of gravy or aioli, or inside a fresh bun with lettuce and tomato.

### Tips & Variations:
– **Spice it up**: Add a pinch of chili flakes or paprika for extra flavor.
– **Make it cheesy**: Add a handful of shredded cheese to the mix.
– **Low-carb version**: Use almond flour or crushed pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs.
– **Freeze for later**: Freeze uncooked rissoles on a tray, then transfer to a bag—cook from frozen by adding 5–10 extra minutes.
