SMILER’S SUPER CHICKEN MEATBALLS – by request!

Step 1. Combine the following ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Roll in to balls, whatever size you fancy. I like mine about golf ball size, smaller is good if serving with pasta or rice.

1 kilo chicken mince (I use ½ thigh, ½ breast)

½ cup chopped basil

½ cup chopped parsley

1 egg

½ cup breadcrumbs

S & P to taste

Chilli can be added if desired

Step 2. Brown the balls in a large fry pan using a good olive oil and transfer to a baking dish.

Step 3. In the same fry pan sauté:-

2 brown onions – chopped

2 cloves of garlic – crushed

Step 4. When they are soft add:-

½ cup dry white wine and let it reduce then add

500ml chicken stock

250ml tomato sugo (a good quality tomato puree)

S & P to taste

Step 5.  Bring to boil and simmer for 10 minutes then pour over the meatballs.

Step 6. Cover with foil and cook at about 180c for 45 – 60 minutes. It’s a good idea to check the sauce level around the 30 minute mark, if it’s low you can add some more sugo and stock.

Serve with a salad or steamed veg.

Serve with spaghetti/pasta (1 cup of cooked pasta per serve!) SERVES 6

Of course, freshly grated Parmesan is a must – delicious!

Suitable for freezing.  SERVES 4

Bon appetite!

love,
