Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Line two oven trays with baking paper. Preheat BBQ hot plate to medium (if using).

Place chicken mince in a bowl. Peel ½ onion, leaving onion root intact and finely grate. Add onion flesh and juice to bowl. Repeat process with ½ apple. Add first measures of spinach and breadcrumbs. Add salt, season with pepper and mix well to combine.
-
Shape heaped tablespoons of mixture into balls, press to flatten to about 1cm-thick. Place second measure of breadcrumbs on a plate and coat chicken bites well on both sides, repeat with remaining mince.
-
Heat oil and butter in large (preferably non-stick) fry-pan on medium heat. Fry chicken bites, in batches, for about 2 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through. Add extra butter/oil as needed. Alternatively use BBQ hot plate. Once chips are cooked, turn oven off, place chicken bites onto second prepared tray to keep warm in oven while you finish cooking remaining bites.
