Directions
Amazingly Quick and Good Chicken Balls, My friend Judy Montagu write a weekly cooking column in the local paper This was in this Friday’s issue, and I took the opportunity to make a wonderful family supper , This was OK My kids liked it Hubby said it didn’t have much flavor I did tweak the recipe a bit mostly additions used chicken made from Recipe #188329 I had frozen it in 2 cup packages, so when I defrosted two of these I had 560 grams of chicken When making the meatballs, I added an extra egg With no guideline on how much breadcrumbs to use (an approximate amount) I thought I should use as little as possible, so I only put in 1/4 cup, and was able to make meatballs that held together (before cooking) Adding the can of water made the sauce quite thin, more like a soup to me than a pasta dish, so we served it in bowls over penne rigate I had some fresh mushrooms to use up (about 1 cup) so I sauted those with the onions At the end after cooking, I also added in 1/4 cup green onions I needed to use up, and about 2 tbsp each of parsley and basil fresh from my garden Many of the meatballs didn’t hold together Not sure if I should have added more breadcrumbs? Or less egg? Or ? All meatballs I’ve made in the past always had to be browned before adding to the sauce If I made this again, I wouldn’t add the can of water and I’d put more seasonings in both the meatballs and the sauce, but first I’d want to figure out what to do to get the meatballs to hold together a bit better (Close to half of mine fell apart ), My friend Judy Montagu write a weekly cooking column in the local paper This was in this Friday’s issue, and I took the opportunity to make a wonderful family supper
