Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g 18 oz Chicken mince
  • 2 tsp Dried oregano
  • 2 tsp Paprika
  • 50 g 0.5 cups Parmesan Grated
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil See notes
  • 3 Garlic cloves Peeled and crushed
  • 150 g 5 oz Sun dried tomatoes Roughly chopped
  • 150 ml 0.75 cups Double cream heavy cream
  • 200 ml 1 cups Chicken stock
  • 15 g 0.5 oz Basil leaves
  • 1/2 Lemon Juice only
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Season to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken mince with half the oregano, paprika, parmesan, salt and pepper, then shape into approximately 16 meatballs.
  2. Warm the olive oil in a large deep pan over medium heat and cook the meatballs until golden all over about 10 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
  3. Sauté garlic with sun dried tomatoes, remaining oregano, and paprika until the garlic softens, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in cream, chicken stock and the leftover parmesan, season with salt and pepper, stir well, add meatballs back to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes.
  5. Ensure the meatballs are fully cooked, then remove the pan from the heat, sprinkle basil leaves on top and squeeze lemon juice over before serving.

Notes

  • Sun dried tomatoes: You could use the oil in the jar for cooking the meatballs instead of the olive oil for an extra boost of flavour
  • Serving suggestions: Enjoy with mash, pasta, roasted veggies or rice
  • To batch cook: Make the meatballs not the sauce and once cooled freeze portions in freezer-safe containers for later
  • Leftovers keep in the fridge up to 3 days and should be reheated thoroughly
