Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb (454g) ground chicken, 1/2 cup (75g) grated carrots (squeezed dry), 1/4 cup (30g) thawed frozen peas (drained), 1/4 cup (25g) breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 2 tbsp (30ml) ketchup, 1 tbsp (15ml) Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 tsp dried thyme, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
