Hello Again Books Chicken Balls

Oh, darling, chicken balls are like little golden orbs of resurrection! You bite into them and - poof! - you’re suddenly alive again, full of scrumptious promise and tender chicken bliss at the center. They’re whimsical, ridiculous, a little kitschy - like if a cocktail party hors d’oeuvre decided to reinvent itself after spending a year in the afterlife. Honestly, they’re proof the universe has a sense of humor, and possibly soup.

Ingredients

for 18 balls

2 lbs ground chicken
Salt & Pepper
2 eggs
6 oz stuffing mix
2 cups chicken stock

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F
In a large bowl add the ground chicken and season with salt and pepper. Add the eggs and stuffing mix.
Gently mix the contents of the bowl to combine and shape into 18 golf ball size meat balls.
Place the meat balls on a cookie sheet and coat with olive oil.
Bake the meatballs for 12 minutes turning half way through cooking
In a saute pan large enough to hold your balls, bring the chicken stock to a simmer
Remove the meatballs from the oven and place into the saute pan with the chicken stock. Simmer the meatballs for an additional 15 minutes, tossing occasionally (or if using for soup place the meatballs directly into the soup)
Serve.
