Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Meatballs
How can you improve some good chicken meatballs? Well, here is one way of doing it. Try filling them with a bit of Cheddar cheese. It will melt when cooked, and combined with the meat, it will be an excellent treat for your taste buds.
Ingredients Needed for Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Meatballs
9 ounces of chicken mince
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika powder
¼ teaspoon nutmeg, grated
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce
3.5 ounces of cheddar
½ cup flour
2 eggs, whisked
½ cup breadcrumbs
vegetable oil for frying
How to Make Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Meatballs
- Add the chicken mince in a large bowl.
- Season it with salt, oregano, paprika powder, nutmeg and pepper. Add the barbecue sauce.
- Mix everything with a spoon to ensure the ingredients are evenly combined.
- In the meantime, slice the Cheddar cheese in small cubes, around 1/3 inch (0.8 cm) thick.
- Pinch off a piece of the meat mixture and gently roll it between your hands to form a small meatball, around 1-2 inch (2,5 cm – 4 cm) in diameter. Make room in the middle using a finger and add 1 Cheddar cube. Shape the meatballs.
- Add the flour, whisked eggs, and breadcrumbs in 3 separate bowls. Coat the meatballs in flour, then in whisked eggs and finally in breadcrumbs.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and deep fry the meatballs for 8-10 minutes, until well browned on all sides.
