Fat per bite: 6g 

·         400g minced chicken or turkey

·         150g fresh white breadcrumbs

·         100g mature Cheddar, grated

·         1 tablespoon mayonnaise

·         1 teaspoon dried thyme or 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

·         1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed, optional

·         Salt and freshly ground black pepper

·         1 medium egg

·         TO SERVE:

·         6 tablespoons mayonnaise

·         1 clove garlic, crushed

·         Juice of ½ lemon

·         A few oven chips and green salad

1. Put the chicken in a bowl with 100g of the breadcrumbs, the grated cheese, mayonnaise, thyme and garlic, if using. Season and mix together well.

2. Shape the mixture into golf-ball-size rounds. Beat the egg in a bowl, put the rest of the breadcrumbs on a plate. Dip the balls in the egg, then in the crumbs to coat them lightly. Put the balls on a greased baking sheet and chill while the oven heats up to 180 C. Cook for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.

To serve: mix the mayonnaise, garlic and lemon juice together and serve with the chicken and cheese bites – hot or cold, with a few chips and salad.

Not suitable for freezing, but can be prepared the day before serving and kept chilled before cooking.
