In my last cottage cheese sauce recipe, I told you about this famous Fresh Herb Chicken Meatballs recipe so here it is finally!
I say “famous” because it’s the kind of recipe that I’ve already made a dozen times since I tested it a few weeks ago. It’s one of those dishes that becomes a real family ritual…
What I like about these chicken meatballs is that they are very easy and quick to prepare, they are a balanced dish, they are full of flavor and freshness with the herbs that make them up, and they have been extensively tested and approved on numerous occasions. and by a certain number of people… 😉 including my children who are not big fans of fresh herbs…
The principle of these meat croquettes consists of mixing chicken cut into small pieces with fresh herbs, a shallot and a little parmesan. I then form balls which I roll successively in flour, beaten egg, then breadcrumbs.
No need for frying, personally, I just brown them in a hot pan with oil, and I crush them a little with the back of a wooden spoon when cooking, that’s what gives them this flattened side. It’s a real treat !
