Process half of the chicken in a food processor.  Puree until coarsely chopped.  Remove and

Combine breadcrumbs and next 6 ingredients then add to chicken, stirring until well mixed.
Shape the chicken mixture into 1-inch balls. 
Place flour into a medium bowl, roll each chicken ball in flour and place in a baking dish that will
fit into the microwave.  Microwave at medium for 6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes. 
Combine oil and paprika in a large skillet over medium heat and warm until hot.  Add chicken balls
