• Pre heat the oven to 180 degree C.

•  Using a sharp knife, roughly chop the bacon into small slices. Add them to the food processor and grind them into a paste like form.

• Transfer the ground bacon to a large bowl. To this, add ground chicken, salt, chopped green onion, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, some chopped coriander and mix properly using your hands. You can also add this mixture to the food processor and give it a slight whisk.

• Now make small meatballs out of the mixture and place them on a greased baking tray.

• Place it inside the oven and bake the chicken balls for about 20 minutes until they are properly browned. Wait for 5 more minutes for them to cool off.

• Serve along with your favorite sauce.
