Chicken Meatballs are a simple yet wonderful dish in Hungarian cuisine. Meatballs have been prepared for generations, and due to the quick and easy availability of ingredients, they are often on the menu for everyday meals. Chicken meatballs are especially popular for family lunches because they are quick to prepare and their flavor appeals to all ages.
Making chicken meatballs is extremely simple: after mixing ground chicken, spices, and egg, small balls or flatter shapes are made, which can be fried in a pan or baked in the oven. Each bite of meatball is tender and flavorful, and easily varied with different spices, vegetables, or even cheeses. Served with potatoes, salad, or pickles - chicken meatballs are the perfect dish for any occasion.
In a bowl, combine the ground chicken breast, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and Hungarian sweet paprika.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs until a formable consistency is achieved.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs and fry in hot oil until golden brown on all sides.
Remove the cooked meatballs and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve fresh as a main course or in a sandwich.
