Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)
- Ground Chicken 300g
- Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
- Breadcrumbs
- Milk
- Egg 1
- Onion, minced
- Italian Parsley, roughly chopped
- Fresh Mozzarella Cheese (for stuffing)
Seasonings
- Olive Oil
- Garlic, minced
- Tomato Sauce
- Salt (approx. 1.2% of ground chicken weight)
- Parmesan Cheese
Steps
- Heat Olive Oil in a pot over medium heat.
- Add minced Garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, add minced Onion and sauté briefly.
- Add Tomato Sauce to the sautéed Onion and simmer over low heat. [Key Tip!] Adding garlic and onion enhances sweetness and richness.
- In a bowl, place Ground Chicken 300g and add Salt (approx. 1.2% of ground chicken weight). Mix well.
- Add Breadcrumbs, Milk, Egg 1, and Parmesan Cheese to the Ground Chicken bowl. Knead until smooth and well combined.
- Lightly pat dry the Fresh Mozzarella Cheese with a paper towel and cut into 6 equal pieces.
- Divide the kneaded Ground Chicken into 6 portions. Flatten each portion, place a piece of cut Fresh Mozzarella Cheese in the center, and carefully wrap the Ground Chicken around it to form meatballs.
- Gently add the meatballs to the simmering Tomato Sauce over low heat.
- Cover the pot and simmer for 4-5 minutes over low heat.
- Once the bottom of the meatballs are cooked, gently flip them over, cover again, and simmer for another 4-5 minutes. [Key Tip!] Be careful not to flip the meatballs too often while simmering to prevent them from breaking apart.
- Once the meatballs are cooked through, transfer them to a serving dish.
- Sprinkle with roughly chopped Italian Parsley for garnish.
- Optionally, add more Parmesan Cheese to taste.
