Health Benefits of Chicken Collagen Zucchini Poppers:

These Chicken Collagen Zucchini Poppers offer a plethora of health benefits thanks to their nutritious ingredients. Ground chicken breast provides a lean source of protein, essential for muscle repair and growth, while grated zucchini adds a dose of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The inclusion of Super Youth Unflavored collagen powder enhances the recipe with additional protein and supports joint and skin health. Green onions, cilantro, and garlic not only contribute to the poppers’ flavor but also provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. The combination of spices like salt, pepper, and cumin adds depth of flavor while potentially aiding digestion and metabolism. Prepared with healthier cooking oils like avocado oil, coconut oil, or ghee, these poppers offer a satisfying alternative to fried snacks. Topped with guacamole, they become a wholesome dish rich in nutrients, making them a delightful addition to any balanced diet.

Wholesome & Easy Appetizer

This recipe stands out as a wholesome and easy appetizer that’s sure to impress guests with its delicious flavors and nutritious ingredients. Its simplicity lies in the straightforward preparation process, requiring just a few basic steps and readily available ingredients. The combination of ground chicken breast, grated zucchini, and flavorful seasonings creates a savory and satisfying bite-sized treat. With the added health benefits of collagen powder, these poppers offer more than just great taste; they also support joint health and skin elasticity. The versatility of the recipe allows for customization, making it suitable for various dietary preferences and restrictions. Whether pan-fried to crispy perfection or baked for a lighter option, these poppers present a visually appealing dish that will elevate any gathering or party spread.

Boosting Skin and Gut Health:

This recipe is the ideal boost for both skin and gut health. The inclusion of Super Youth in the recipe offers substantial benefits for skin elasticity and hydration. Collagen is a vital protein that supports the structure of the skin, helping to maintain its firmness and smoothness while reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, Super Youth aids in promoting gut health by supporting the integrity of the intestinal lining and contributing to the repair of damaged tissues. With the combination of collagen-rich ingredients like chicken breast and the hydrating properties of zucchini, these yummy poppers serve as a wholesome treat that nourishes both the skin and the gut from within. By incorporating this recipe into your diet, you can enjoy not only a flavorful appetizer but also the rejuvenating benefits of Super Youth for a radiant complexion and a healthy digestive system.

Prep Time:
Cook Time:
Total Time: 35 minutes
Serving Size: 4-5 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground chicken breast (uncooked)
  • 2 c. grated zucchini (leave peel on and squeeze out some of the liquid with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel)
  • 1 scoop Super Youth Unflavored
  • 2–3 green onions, sliced
  • 3–4 Tbsp cilantro, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3/4 tsp cumin (optional)
  • Optional (if pan-frying): avocado oil, for cooking (or coconut oil, or ghee)
  • Guacamole for garnish

Steps

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, mix chicken, zucchini, green onion, cilantro, garlic, Super Youth, salt, pepper, and cumin (if using). The mixture will be quite wet. 
  2. Scoop meatballs with a small scoop or heaped tablespoon and gently smooth with your hands. This will make around 20-24 poppers, depending on the size you make each one.
  3. Either cook on the stovetop or bake: 
    1. Cook on the stovetop:
      Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-low heat. Cook 4-5 at a time for about 5-6 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook an additional 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and the centers are cooked through.
    2. To bake:
      Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle a bit of olive or avocado oil onto a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake at 400 degrees 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. If desired, place under the broiler for an additional 2-3 minutes or until browned on top.
  4. Serve with guacamole, salsa, or your favorite dip!
