Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Make the meatball mixture

    Grate the onion into the ground chicken. Add the crushed garlic, chives, salt, pepper, and water. Mix thoroughly, then knead briefly by hand.

  2. Stuff the meatballs

    With wet hands, shape the mixture into balls. Press a piece of processed cheese into the center of each and seal the meat around it.

  3. Bread the meatballs

    Coat the meatballs in flour, then beaten eggs, then breadcrumbs.

  4. Fry the meatballs

    Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the meatballs over medium heat for about 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels and serve with mashed potatoes or potatoes.

Tip: Seal the cheese completely inside the meat so it does not leak out during frying. Cut one meatball in half to check that the meat is white all the way to the center.
