Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 200 milliliters Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken balls in batches and cook until golden brown on all sides, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove the cooked chicken balls and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and melt the butter. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to make a roux.
Gradually add the chicken broth while whisking, ensuring there are no lumps. Then, pour in the heavy cream and continue stirring until the sauce starts to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the chicken balls to the skillet, ensuring they are fully submerged in the sauce. Cover and let them simmer on low heat for 10 minutes to finish cooking and absorb the flavors.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken balls before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional Parmesan for extra flavor.
Serve warm over pasta, rice, or with fresh bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
