Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large egg
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 250 ml chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a ball, about the size of a golf ball.
Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken balls to the skillet in batches, cooking each side until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Once all the chicken balls are browned, return them all to the skillet and pour the chicken broth over them.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken balls are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken balls rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the juicy chicken balls warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
