**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken

– 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste

**Instructions:**

2. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Ensure they are tightly packed so they hold together during frying.
3. Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. You’ll need enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan for frying.
4. Carefully place the Party Ballchen in the hot oil, ensuring they have enough space between them to cook evenly. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
5. Once done, remove the Party Ballchen from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
6. Serve the Party Ballchen hot and fresh, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce. They make a wonderful appetizer for any party or a delicious snack for a cozy night in.
