- 2 lbs 1kg ground chicken* (Note 1)
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup packed fresh parsley about 20gr

- 5 garlic cloves pressed
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon creamy horseradish
- 1-2 teaspoons Sriracha

Instructions

- In a food processor, place bacon and pulse until finely chopped.
- Add all the remaining meatball ingredients. Pulse until everything is well combined.
