Chicken meatballs in cream sauce make a quick lunch prepared entirely in one baking dish. The chicken breasts and onion are finely diced, bound with an egg, and shaped into small balls, with a little flour if needed. After a short bake at 180 °C (350 °F), they are covered with cream mixed with grated cheese and crushed garlic, then baked for another 10 to 15 minutes. Serve them with rice, potatoes, or bread.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Finely dice the chicken breasts and onion. Combine them, add salt, black pepper, and the egg, and mix thoroughly. Shape the mixture into small balls.
Tip: If the mixture is difficult to shape, mix in a little all-purpose flour.
Place the meatballs in a baking dish and bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for about 10–15 minutes.
Meanwhile, coarsely grate the cheese, mix it with the cream, and add the crushed garlic. Pour this mixture over the meatballs, return the dish to the oven, and bake for another 10–15 minutes, depending on their size.
Serve with potatoes, rice, or pasta, or with a vegetable salad.

Tip: Make the meatballs the same size so they finish cooking at the same time. Before serving, cut one open—the meat must be white all the way through, with no pink remaining.
