This list can go on and on, because for the entire time of the existence of cooking, the range of meat dishes has been actively replenished with legendary dishes.
How to make minced chicken
In general, chicken products are very, very worthy. And meatballs with minced chicken are no exception, but rather serve as a vivid confirmation of this fact.
However, you need to approach the preparation of the meat mass wisely and with knowledge of all the subtleties, and only then will our dishes be really juicy, tender and melting in your mouth. And all this is not counting the great taste and the highest dietary qualities.
For the preparation of minced meat, as a rule, they take chicken breasts, which are very dry due to the lack of fat in them. However, this is easy to fix:
- To make the twisted mass juicier, you can also use chicken fat, which is abundant in the lower part of the carcass. However, in this case, the dietary qualities of the products suffer.
- The second option for “impregnation” of the chicken mass lies in the bread pulp soaked in milk, as we add to cutlets.
- There is also an alternative to the bun - butter, cut into cubes and mixed with twisted breast.
- Grated fatty cheese can also ennoble minced chicken.
- And if you pour vegetable oil or mayonnaise into the mass, then by doing so we will also improve the juicy qualities of our future meatballs.
- In addition, grated, finely chopped or minced onion is designed to increase not only the aromatic characteristics of the minced meat product, but also to give tenderness and juiciness to the future dish.
- Which, in principle, will also do 1-2 tubers of raw potatoes, which should also be grated on a fine grater, or passed through a meat grinder along with the meat.
To make the most tender minced chicken elastic and stable, so that our products do not fall apart, we need to introduce eggs into the mixture.
condiments
And to give the dish an appetizing aroma and excellent taste, you need to use seasonings. The most standard set of spices for minced meat is salt, garlic and black pepper powder.
Classics are always appreciated, however, there is a worthy place for innovations in cooking, so do not be afraid to take more spices. For example, marjoram and mint, sage and thyme, rosemary and basil are perfect for minced chicken. These scented additives can be used alone or mixed into a spicy smoothie.
Chili pepper is able to subtly emphasize the taste and give a special sharpness, when, like paprika, our meatballs will envelop our meatballs with a spicy taste and aroma.
Cumin with white mustard, nutmeg and cilantro seeds are also ready to ennoble our dinner. In principle, all these spices are included in the company of hot peppers in curry, which, oh, how Indians love to add to chicken. In addition, both ginger and turmeric have a worthy place in the company of minced chicken.

Cooking
As a rule, meatballs are cooked in two stages: first they are fried, and then stewed in sauce. But, since we are preparing a dietary dish, we will skip the first ritual and immediately proceed to stewing. Although you can also make them as a couple.
- For meatballs, we will do the minced meat a little differently than usual in such cases, and therefore, first of all, we will wash the rice and put it to boil for 15 minutes.
- At this time, we will make frying in oil from diced onion and grated carrots.
- After that, we will knead the mass necessary for our rice balls. We drive eggs into minced chicken, spread boiled and washed rice, as well as vegetable frying. Salt and pepper to taste, and knead well the base for our dinner.
- Now we need to prepare the sauce in which our balls will be stewed. Pour tomato juice into a deep frying pan, salt, anoint it with peppercorns and laurel, and if you wish, with your favorite spices, and put the koloboks formed from minced meat into this red sauce.
- Having closed the container with a lid, we set a medium fire on the stove and leave the “hedgehogs” to stew for 30-40 minutes.
Children love this dish very much, so when serving, you should choose a side dish according to children's preference, for example, mashed potatoes or curly pasta. However, meatballs can also be served as an independent dish with sauce.
Moving away from standards
This recipe for minced chicken meatballs is very approximate, because in our kitchen we are trendsetters in culinary fashion, and it is for us to make adjustments to the established recipe description.
How we will cook meat balls is up to each cook personally. Whether we fry them, boil them, stew them or bake them in the oven, in any case we get a delicious dish, but what is especially important in this whole process is the option of preparing the sauce, because it is the gravy in this dish that plays a key role.
Our recipe uses tomato dressing, which not everyone may like, but hardly anyone can refuse sour cream, cream and cheese sauce.
- In the case of sour cream and cheese, the recipe is almost identical. Fry onions and carrots, salt, enrich with spices and add sour cream or melted cheese diluted in boiling water.
- Regarding the creamy sauce, there is one caveat, namely the addition of flour as a thickener. After the vegetable frying is ready, we must put flour (1-2 tablespoons) into a container, fry it a little along with onions and carrots, and only then add cream or milk into the mass in a thin stream.
To spice up our dressings, you can add Russian mustard and finely chopped dill to them, and then minced chicken meatballs cooked in this sauce will have a great taste and captivating aroma that will be appreciated by all members of your family.
If you want to cook a dinner for a large family so that everyone dares and asks for more, then make these delicious minced chicken meatballs with gravy. The recipe is simple, even those who have recently begun to master kitchen wisdom can handle it. The combination of products for gravy may vary. The main thing is its density and volume. Personally, I think that mushroom and creamy taste is best suited for chicken meatballs, so I make gravy from champignons with sour cream. Minced chicken meatballs are very tender, airy, juicy. My household members are cracking them like seeds: before you look back, 25 meatballs are gone, leaving only a pristine frying pan, because they also scrape the gravy clean.
Ingredients:
For meatballs:
- 700 grams of minced chicken,
- ½ cup dry rice (round is best)
- 1 egg
- 1 large onion
- 2/3 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground pepper,
- flour for breading (3-4 tablespoons),
- vegetable oil for frying
For gravy:
- 1 can of sour cream 250 grams,
- 1 glass of water
- 1 small onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 300 grams of mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
How to cook minced chicken meatballs with gravy
1. First you need to boil the rice. The softest meatballs are obtained with round-grain rice, for example, with Kuban. Pour it with a glass of water, add a couple of pinches of salt and cook without a lid until all the water has evaporated. Rice does not have to be fully cooked. It will reach the condition in the process of stewing meatballs, having absorbed the fragrant gravy.
2. Onions can be turned through a meat grinder or grated. Recently, the second method has become somehow closer to me. After the grater, a certain amount of onion juice is obtained - I drain it.
3. In a large bowl, put the minced chicken, rice, onion, egg, salt and pepper.
4. Mix everything. Pour flour into a bowl. We put a frying pan on the stove. We heat it up strongly enough - we will need to fry the meatballs to a crust so that all the juice remains inside. And it is better to do it at a high temperature. Next, with wet hands, form small meatballs. Spread in flour, breading and in a pan.
This is the most time-consuming moment in the cooking process. Sculpt - roll - fry until golden brown - turn over, fry on the second side - remove the finished ones from the pan and put them in a dish. I got 25 meatballs.
5. Let's do the gravy. To make it especially fragrant, let's do a simple procedure: pour oil into a large frying pan and dip a clove of garlic into it, cut into 3-4 parts. We put the pan on the fire. Roast the garlic until it turns yellow. At the same time finely chop the onion. When the garlic is fried, take it out and discard it. You will appreciate the aroma of garlic oil. We spread the onion in it, fry until transparent, stirring, for 5-7 minutes.
6. We chop the mushrooms smaller. We spread them to the fried onions, mix and fry for another 5 minutes. Finely chopped mushrooms cook very quickly. Then add flour and mix. This will allow us to make the sauce without lumps.
7. Put sour cream in the pan. Pour water into a jar of sour cream and shake to pick up all the leftovers. Pour into the sauce. We are waiting for it to boil, mix. Taste the sauce and adjust if necessary to taste.
8. Put the meatballs in the sauce. Top up with the rest of the water. We close the lid. Reduce the fire to a minimum. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Meatballs cooked according to this recipe are very tender and "juicy", despite the fact that they are made from chicken breast, which in itself is considered dietary and rather dry meat. Both adults and children will like them, and they are combined with almost any side dish. Try to cook them - it's quite simple and does not require much time and expense.
To make chicken breast meatballs you will need (for 4 servings):
For chicken meatballs:
400 g chicken breast fillet;
1 small head of red sweet onion;
3 pieces of loaf;
100 g of milk;
salt, ground black pepper, curry - to taste.
For sauce:
200 g chicken broth;
100 g of milk;
10 g butter;
1 st. l. (without a slide) potato starch;
salt, black ground pepper - to taste.
Rinse the chicken breasts, pat dry, cut into medium cubes and add to the grinder. Add grated onion (you can finely chop the onion, but grated it turns out to be more tender in meatballs), salt, pepper. Punch with grinder.
Turn off the fire, add the remaining butter, mix, cover the meatballs with a lid and let them simmer for about 7-10 minutes. Serve the meatballs hot with a side dish of your choice.
Enjoy your meal! Eat with pleasure!
