1 peeled, cored and grated apple
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
Half a red onion
1 tbsp of chopped parsley

Press out all the moisture from the apple with a teatowel or small hand towel.

Using a blender, mix together the apple, chicken, onion, parsely, breadcrumbs and stock.

Spread the flour across a plate, divide the mixture into 20 mini portions, shape each portion with your hand using the flour, into a ball.
