For the meatballs:
- 500 g Minced chicken
- 1 Medium egg
- 75 g Breadcrumbs
- 40 g Grated parmesan
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Black pepper
For the sauce:
- 1 Onion diced
- 3 Cloves of garlic chopped
- 150 ml Chicken stock

Instructions
- Add all the meatball ingredients into a mixing bowl, get stuck in with your hands and mix until it’s well combined.
- Roll the mix into 12 equal sized meatballs. If they are soft, then pop them into the fridge or the freezer for a little while to firm up. Otherwise get cooking.
- Heat some cooking oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Cook the meatballs until they are golden brown all over. Then remove them from the pan and set aside.
- Add in the onion and cook until it softens. Once soft, chuck in the garlic and cook for a further minute.
- Pour in the chicken stock and the double cream, then add the smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well.
- Get the meatballs back in the pan, then bring to the boil and cook until the sauce has thickened.
- Stir through the chopped parsley, then taste for seasoning.
- Dish it up with mashed potato, and some seasonal veggies. Enjoy!

Easy, tasty a perfect midweek meal!
Chicken meatballs are such a surprising revelation. Cooking them again tonight.
Made this a few times now, with extra garlic (I do love garlic) and extra stock etc to make more sauce. My previous fav was the meatball stroganoff, but now I am not so sure.
The best thing about this site, is the “Print” option which changes the quantities for ingredients depending on the serving your selection! Genius!!
Really enjoyed the chicken meatballs in a creamy paprika sauce. Generous portion 😁 will definitely be making this again. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes, thanks for sharing.
Tried the chicken meatballs in paprika sauce last night and they were lovely.
However, I followed the recipe exactly except for the garlic which I don’t like , but I do disagree with the cooking time.
Fifteen minutes cooking was nearer to 30 minutes to fully cook the meatballs and then the sauce. And I also thought the meatballs were too big and made 20 golf ball sized ones. Too much for two though and six have been frozen.
Will definitely make this meal again , but next try is the Marry me Chicken. Can’t wait. !
Sooo good! Would this be ok to make a big batch and freeze?
Pretty good to be honest absolutely loved it not use to a chicken meatball so was different but worth it
My wife was sceptical about chicken meatballs but I made it anyway. She said it was absolutely delicious. Will definitely have it again.
Delicious recipe, so much flavour! I added chopped green beans for a vegetable and next time will double to sauce! 100% making again!
Delicious recipe, so much flavour! I think next time I would double the sauce to make it saucier! I stirred in chopped green beans for a vegetable.
