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

  1. Heat Olive Oil in a pot over medium heat.
  2. Add minced Garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, add minced Onion and sauté briefly.
  3. Add Tomato Sauce to the sautéed Onion and simmer over low heat. [Key Tip!] Adding garlic and onion enhances sweetness and richness.
  4. In a bowl, place Ground Chicken 300g and add Salt (approx. 1.2% of ground chicken weight). Mix well.
  5. Add Breadcrumbs, Milk, Egg 1, and Parmesan Cheese to the Ground Chicken bowl. Knead until smooth and well combined.
  6. Lightly pat dry the Fresh Mozzarella Cheese with a paper towel and cut into 6 equal pieces.
  7. 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.
  8. Gently add the meatballs to the simmering Tomato Sauce over low heat.
  9. Cover the pot and simmer for 4-5 minutes over low heat.
  10. 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.
  11. Once the meatballs are cooked through, transfer them to a serving dish.
  12. Sprinkle with roughly chopped Italian Parsley for garnish.
  13. Optionally, add more Parmesan Cheese to taste.
