Cheese balls with chicken fillet. Chicken balls with soft cheese, deboned from dried herbs

Making balls from chicken fillet with cheese with your own hands at home is very easy. You can either fry them in a pan or bake them in the oven, while their taste will not change at all. But this option is suitable for those who do not like to fry dishes in a large amount of oil.

Ingredients

  • Chicken breast 800 g
  • Chicken eggs 3 pcs.
  • Bulb onion 1 pc.
  • Garlic 2-3 cloves
  • Edible salt to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • Bread crumbs 50 g
  • Wheat flour 50 g
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Hard cheese 100 g

Preparation

Minced chicken balls can be prepared in such a way that the cheese is inside, like a filling, or you can also grate it directly into the minced meat itself. This will make the dish more juicy and tasty, as well as add an unrivaled flavor to it.


  • It is advisable to choose fresh, not frozen chicken fillet, since in this case the minced meat will turn out to be more juicy. Rinse the breast and trim the film and fat, then mince the meat. Peel the onion, cut into large cubes and also pass through a meat grinder. It is worth doing the same with garlic, but if the cloves are very small, it is better to chop them with a garlic press.


  • Place the chopped ingredients in a common deep bowl, then add fresh chicken eggs, black pepper and salt to taste. Try not to oversalt the minced meat, remember that the filling will also be salty because of the cheese.


  • Mix thoroughly chopped meat, and then try to shape it into a ball. If it is too runny or does not hold its shape, add very little bread crumbs or bread crumb to it. Then you need to prepare three small deep bowls, in which you need to place flour, whipped egg and breadcrumbs respectively.


  • Start shaping the cheese-filled meatballs. To do this, scoop up a little minced meat with a spoon, knead it in your hand to make a tortilla, and put in a small piece of cheese. Pinch the edges, and then roll the minced meat into a ball.


  • Dip the meatball first in flour, then dip in egg mixture, and then - in a container with bread crumbs. Do this with all the chicken balls, placing them on a wooden board.


  • Take a frying pan or cauldron with high edges, pour in a lot of oil so that when frying it covers the meatballs at least half of it, and put it on the fire, waiting for the oil to boil. Gently dip the meat pieces into it and fry until golden crust from all sides. Put the finished chicken balls with cheese on paper napkins so that the butter glass, after which you can transfer the dish to a plate, decorate with herbs and serve with a side dish. Bon Appetit!

Good day, gentlemen! Today we will prepare an interesting dish, which is distinguished not only by its usefulness, but also by the versatility of serving. Chicken balls with chickpeas and soft cheese. They can become an appetizer, lunch and dinner, thanks to the excellent combination of BJU. They prepare pretty quickly, if not to talk about preliminary passive preparations. Let's go!

Ingredients

  • Boiled chicken fillet - 450 gr;
  • Boiled chickpeas - 200 gr;
  • Soft cottage cheese(or ricotta) - 60-80 gr;
  • Dried greens: dill, parsley, marjoram, mint, basil (to taste);
  • Spices to taste;
  • Garlic powder (unless it is in the composition of spices) - ½ tsp;
  • Salt.

Preparation

  1. Soak chickpeas in water in advance, preferably overnight. I stood in water for almost a day - it swelled 3 times and quickly cooked. Then put to simmer over medium heat for 1 hour.
  2. Boil chicken fillet and cool, cut into small pieces. Grind with a blender until homogeneous mass... Fillet is difficult to chop, so you can add liquid to the blender (for example, strained broth left after cooking or boiled water).

Important note! The mass should be thick and stick well, so keep track of the amount of liquid added.

  1. Boiled chickpeas are also mashed with a blender.
  2. Mix chicken and chickpea puree, add soft cheese, salt and mix thoroughly until smooth.
  3. Form into balls and roll in spices mixed with herbs and garlic powder. Serve warm.

Nutritional value and calorie content of chicken-chickpea balls with curd cheese per 100 g:

It is better to accompany the balls with sauce, for example:

  • low-fat sour cream,
  • tomato sauce
  • soy sauce mixed with lemon juice,
  • soft cottage cheese / yogurt with herbs, salt and mustard.

This recipe was born spontaneously, so after cooking, I began to have ideas on how to change or improve the recipe. Here are some ideas to keep in mind:

  1. Roll the balls not only in herbs with spices, but also in chopped walnuts. You can put a whole nut kernel in the center.
  2. In general, such balls will play great with a filling: it can be cheese, a vegetable (for example, a cucumber or bell pepper), sun-dried tomatoes, boiled and grated beets with garlic.
  3. They can also be lightly fried in a dry skillet for a crispy crust.
  4. Alternatively, make a baked dish. Put the balls in a mold, mix separately 2 eggs, a little milk, a little grated cheese and a little flour (whole grain) or corn starch(although you can do without flour, it will be more dietary), salt, spices and pour balls with this dough. I am sure this casserole will turn out to be very tasty.

Bon appetit and cook to your health!

Hello! Today we will prepare a very simple and crazy delicious appetizer- chicken balls with cheese.

If you are looking for an appetizer to cook for a holiday, then chicken balls are perfect: they are hearty, tasty both hot and cold (although hot, of course, tastier), and cook quickly and easily!

Ingredients:

So, a step-by-step recipe for chicken balls:

  • We prepare minced meat, cheese and spices
  • We form balls
  • Breaded and fry
  • The appetizer is ready!

Cut the cheese into small cubes. The size of the cubes may vary, so the amount of cheese is only approximate.

Minced chicken can be used commercially, or you can make it yourself - I prefer the second option. Whatever you choose, add to it grated onion, pressed garlic, salt and spices - if you wish, you can add your favorite seasonings for chicken.

Thoroughly knead the minced meat with your hands and beat it off a little: raise it, and then forcefully throw it to the bottom of the bowl.

To crumble the greens faster, divide them in half and place the cut pieces next to each other.

We make a flat cake from a small amount of minced meat, put a piece of cheese in the middle and form a ball about the size of Walnut or a little more. We throw it from hand to hand so that it is properly held together.

We roll each ball well in breadcrumbs so that it is ruddy and delicious :)


5

Now we do deep fat: I do it in a multicooker on the "frying" mode at 170 degrees. This takes me about 900 ml of oil.

If you don't have a multicooker, you can use a regular saucepan. The amount of oil in this case depends on the diameter.

Since it takes a lot of oil, it is beneficial to make several deep-fried dishes at a time.

In well-heated oil (it should gurgle :) we send our balls. I have a special sieve for deep-frying - it is more convenient with it, but if it is not there, it's okay. It will just be a little less convenient to pull out - prepare a slotted spoon in advance.

After cooking, you can place the balls on paper towels and / or blot them to remove excess oil.

We cook our balls for 4-5 minutes.

Our appetizer is ready! Serve with your favorite sauce, ideally hot - if you cook in advance, just reheat in the microwave. Although, of course, the most juicy taste just cooked balls.

Cooking chicken balls is quick and easy. Ruddy balls "in the heat of the heat" delight not only the stomach, but also the eye, look appetizing and cute, combine with almost any side dish (however, without a side dish, they are also eaten "with a bang"). In short, if you once again bought a chicken fillet or minced chicken and wondered what to make of this, try this recipe!

Necessary:

  • Minced chicken - about 800 grams (it is better, of course, if possible, grind from chicken fillet yourself, but you can buy ready-made)
  • Onions - 1 medium-sized onion
  • Chicken egg - 2 pieces
  • Garlic - 3-4 large cloves (this is optional, if you don't want it - don't put it)
  • Cream - 200 milliliters, that is, a glass (the fat content of the cream is at your discretion, it seems to us that 10-11% is quite enough)
  • Cheese (any hard varieties of your choice) - about 200 grams
  • Table salt - approximately 1.5 teaspoons
  • Ground black pepper - to taste (well, on the tip of a teaspoon, about a quarter of a spoon, but, you know, usually no one puts pepper with a spoon, it's more convenient to shake the pepper shaker several times, or even better to twist the mill)
  • Margarine or butter - 10-15 grams to grease a baking dish
  • Fresh greens (dill, parsley, cilantro and other your favorite) - if you wish, sprinkle the finished dish with finely chopped herbs on top, which will certainly improve both the look and taste

Preparation:

Peel the onions and chop finely. Add the chopped onion to the minced meat. Season with salt, pepper and mix until smooth.

Beat the eggs until they are lightly foamy (with a mixer or a whisk, as a last resort, just with a fork), add the eggs to the minced meat and mix everything thoroughly again. For the convenience of further work, it can be divided into parts (we usually get 9 balls from this amount of minced meat, let's not say that they are small).

A baking dish (you can have a deep baking sheet, but it will be too large for this amount of minced meat) grease with margarine or butter.

With hands dipped in cold water so that the minced meat does not stick, we form, sculpt balls and put them in a greased form at some distance from each other, not close ( watch our recipe video!).

Preheat the oven to 200-210 degrees (medium heating level or slightly higher), put the dish with balls on a baking sheet or on a wire rack at a medium height and bake for 15 minutes. ATTENTION! Again and again! If the form is glass, we put it in a cold oven, then turn on the heating and increase the residence time in the oven by 10-15 minutes (this is how much time the oven usually heats up).

While our chicken balls are baked in the oven, we rub the cheese on a not very coarse grater, or even on a fine one.

Crush the garlic in a special "crusher" or chop it very, very finely and add it to the grated cheese, mix. Pour cream into the cheese and garlic and mix everything again.

We take out of the oven a form with already slightly baked chicken balls and each ball (immediately, do not wait, do not let it cool) generously water cream cheese sauce... And immediately we send the form back to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
