Ch ch ch Chia Chicken Bites!

 This is my first food creation with chia seeds and I must say it is delicious, healthy and pretty simple!



What you will need:

2 ounces of cooked boneless skinless chicken breast

2 large pear slices, soft

1 slice of toasted bread. I used Rudis brand multigrain, gluten free

1 tablespoon chia seeds soaked in 2 tbsp water

Magic bullet or processor

Spoon out the tbsp of chia seeds and add the water in a small bowl The chia seeds will turn into a gelatinous interesting concoction.

Blend the pear slices and chicken with a little water or pear juice if needed. Consistency should be similar to a slightly thick biscuit dough or chicken salad...pretty obvious huh?

Use day old bread or a toasted slice and blend into find crumbs.  Form patties and roll into the crumbs and place on a cookie sheet.  I lined mine with parchment paper the first time and mashed with a fork for a aesthetic design :)  The second time I made them I used a mini muffin tin and they turned out great.  Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.  These are soft enough to break apart and form into smaller pieces for exploring, which I recommend!
