Chicken Meatballs With Sauce

Chicken Meatballs With Sauce is a second dish to enjoy at lunch or dinner with family or friends. We traditionally cooked the chicken meatballs and enjoyed them with a sauce prepared with seasonal vegetables.

We can cook it whole in the pan, or we can choose to cook it partly in a pan and finish this recipe in the oven. The taste is delicious in both cases. The way of cooking it depends on the time you have available for cooking. I most like to finish it in the oven.

Ingredients

For the chicken meatballs

• 300 g ground chicken meat
• 2 slices of bread without crust
• 1 egg
• salt
• mix of herbs
• 2 tbsp of ground Parmesan cheese
• Olive oil

For the sauce

• 2 green onions
• 1 carrot
• 1 zucchini
• 1/2 Cerely stalk
• bay leaves
• salt, black pepper
• garlic, chilly pepper
• 2 tbsp of tomato sauce
• a little flour, or one tbsp of ground cheese

Directions

Meatballs dough

1. First, we will make the meatball dough by mixing all the ingredients in a large glass bowl.
2. Soften the bread slices in water or milk. Add spices and prepare the dough as we explained in our Best Homemade Meatball Recipe.
3. We will divide the amount of meatball dough and form small meatballs, which we fry with olive oil in a pan until they turn reddish.
   

Cooking the Sauce

1. Continue with the rest of the recipe. We will cut the green onions finely. In a non-stick pan, add a little olive oil, green onions, and sauté them until tender.
2. We will cut all the other vegetables into cubes. You can preferably add or remove any of the ones we have listed above.
3. We add them to the pan and cook them until they soften. Season all with salt and black pepper, and after they taste for a minute, we will add the tomato sauce and water.
4. Once the vegetables and all the liquid mass start to boil, we will add the previously fried meatballs and cover the pot with a lid.
5. Cook them all together for 10 minutes on low heat. Enjoy it with our favorite herbs. The sauce should turn out liquid in this step of cooking.

Completion of the recipe

1. We will finish this recipe in the pan or the oven.
   If you prefer to finish it in the pan, then we use a little flour. We dissolve the flour in cold water and add this mixture to the sauce. Let it cook on low heat until the sauce thickens for a few minutes in the pan.
2. The second option is to complete the recipe in the oven, and it will be a special casserole for your family. In this case, we will transfer all to a baking pan and add the minced cheese (Kackavall or pizza cheese) on top of the baking pan. We bake it in the preheated oven at 200 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
3. Serve it warm.

Bon Appetit!
