Chicken Meatballs in Parmesan Cream Sauce
These sound really good! A must try for me. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
For the Meatballs
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 onion, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs, OR make from a shortcut on this site
- 2 spring onions, chopped
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated or shaved
Additional Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 teaspoons flour
- 1 3/4 cups chicken stock, fresh or made from powder
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, OR make from a shortcut on this site
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated or shaved
- salt and pepper, to taste
- prepared pasta or mashed potatoes, to serve with
Instructions
- Combine all of the meatball ingredients into a mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix or just a large spoon, do not over mix.
- Wet hands with some water and roll out meatball mixture into balls, make about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, like golf ball size.
- Brown meatballs on all sides in large non stick pan over medium-high heat in olive oil. You may have to do this in batches. Remove the meatballs when browned, place on a plate and set aside.
- Using the same pan, fry the onion and garlic until soft, then sprinkle with flour, stir, and cook a few minutes more. Then whisk in the chicken stock until no lumps remain, then whisk in the heavy cream or milk.
- Turn heat down to low. Sauce should barely be simmering. Stir in 3/4 of a cup of Parmesan cheese and a good pinch of black pepper. Check for seasoning. Add salt if it needed. Place the meatballs into the simmering sauce and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through and sauce has thickened.
- Serve over pasta of your choice or mashed or boiled potatoes.
Notes
Chicken will cost about 32 Baht/500 grams. The Parmesan cheese however, will cost about 280+ Baht for grated, solid cheese you need to shave, even more. This comes to about $2.30 per serving for 4 servings. Costly but would be a good once a month meal.
