- Hey everyone, it's Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com
and I have a really good dinner idea for you.
It's chicken meatballs that are juicy, tender, plump
in a fantastic cream sauce.
This recipe is so easy and it's perfect
for a busy weeknight.
We start with the meatballs and you basically
just put all the ingredients into a bowl
and stir it together.
So I've got one pound of ground chicken
and I'm using ground chicken thighs.
Add one cup of cooked white rice,
along with one large egg.
Half of a medium grated onion,
and I grate it right into the bowl
to save myself some dishes.
Then add one pressed garlic clove
and season it with half a teaspoon of salt
and a quarter teaspoon of pepper.
After you've mixed it all up,
we're gonna make the meatballs,
and I use an ice cream scoop to keep my hands clean.
Dredge your meatballs in flour,
then pat them into about one to one and a half inch balls,
dusting off the excess flour.
Then put them on a lightly floured surface.
Heat a large pan over a medium heat
and add a couple of tablespoons of oil.
Once the oil is hot, transfer the meatballs
into the skillet.
Saute uncovered for four minutes.
Flip your meatballs over, then cover and cook
another three minutes.
They're done when they're cooked through
and golden brown on all sides.
Transfer your meatballs to a separate plate
and in the same pan, no need to wash it,
melt two tablespoons of butter.
Sprinkle the top with two tablespoons of flour
and continue whisking until it's golden.
It takes about a minute.
Now stir in two cups of low sodium chicken broth
and continue whisking until it starts to thicken.
Finish off the sauce with a quarter cup of sour cream,
and you can also use heavy cream
if you don't have sour cream,
and whisk until smooth.
Season the sauce to taste.
I add in half a teaspoon of paprika,
half a teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper.
Let the sauce simmer for a bit,
until it's thick enough to lightly coat a meatball.
Return the meatballs back to the pan
and then turn them to coat them in that yummy sauce.
They're ready to serve just as soon
as they're warmed through.
Alright, now the taste test,
and you know, these are so good over mashed potatoes
or noodles,
but I can't wait.
Still hot, but I'm gonna eat one.
Yum yum.
And of course, some extra sauce.
Okay, here we go.
Looks juicy.
They're so tender and absolutely delicious.
That sauce has so much flavor in it.
