Whenever I make these meatballs for dinner in a tomato sauce served with pasta I always make extra meatballs just so I can freeze them to take out for a different lunch to take to school instead of sandwiches.


Ingredients (serves 10)

  • 500g chicken mince
  • 60g grated parmesan
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 cup fresh white breadbrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbs parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)

Method

  1. Mix all ingredients together, shape tablespoons of mixture into small balls and chill for an hour to firm up.
  2. Heat oil in a shallow pand and fry the balls in batches until golden brown all over.
  3. Serve with buttered rice with added peas and corn and some broccoli on the side (as in the photo) in a thermos bowl to keep it warm.

Notes

Alternately you can serve them cold on a skewer with whatever you like (my kids like it alternating with cubes of cheese, carrot and cucumber) To make it Gluten Free use Gluten Free bread.

  • Chicken meatballs is something i make regularly. I love to also add mushroom and grated carrot to mine and sometimes peas depending on how i feel when i am making them. Chicken meat balls go well with both veggies and salad. I always make these in bulk and use them in lunches for work. Simple and easy dish.

  • Ooooh. I’ve never thought of adding garlic and parmesan. That would be a nice combination.
