Mash together the chicken, sweet potato, salt, and onion powder in a medium bowl with a potato masher or a large fork.
Place the bread crumbs into a separate shallow bowl.
Form the chicken mixture into 1-tablespoon-size balls and roll in bread crumbs.
Flatten slightly (or form into tot-shapes) and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Optional: Spray or brush lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 22-24 minutes at 375 degrees F or until golden brown on the bottom and cooked through.
Remove from oven, let cool for a minute or two and serve warm.
(To cook in an air fryer, place onto a greased tray or basket and cook for 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees F. I don't turn over in the middle of cooking.)
