Ingredients
- —250 g ground chicken
- —1 egg
- —1 tsp paprika powder
- —1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- —1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
- —Salt, pepper
- —200 g diced tomatoes (unsweetened)
- —½ small onion, finely chopped
- —1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- —1 tsp olive oil or ghee
- —½ tsp cumin powder
- —½ tsp paprika powder
- —Salt, pepper
- —(Optional) a pinch of chili flakes or fresh basil
Instructions
Mix the ground chicken with the egg, paprika powder, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Shape into small meatballs (about 3 cm) and fry them in olive oil until golden brown all around. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, sauté the onion and garlic for 2 minutes, then add the diced tomatoes and spices. Let the sauce simmer gently for 10 minutes. Return the chicken meatballs to the sauce and cook for another 10 minutes.
Serving Tip
Juicy chicken meatballs in a flavorful, pure tomato sauce — Mediterranean-style comfort food. Serve in a deep bowl or on a small plate with some fresh parsley or basil sprinkled on top. Delicious with cauliflower rice, grilled vegetables, or a salad of arugula and tomato.
Storage Tip
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat on low heat with a splash of water or broth to keep the sauce smooth.
