How to make it

Mix the minced chicken well with the egg, grated carrots, cream cheese and seasonings.
Crush the cornflakes and mix them with a little garlic powder and sweet paprika.
Shape balls of about 50 g of the mixture each. Put a piece of mozzarella in the middle of each one and seal it well.
Roll the balls in the cornflakes and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake them in the oven preheated to 200°C for about 40–45 minutes, until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through (74°C in the centre).
