Ingredients

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
  • 150 ml Double cream
  • 2 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 15 g Parsley chopped

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!
