Cook: 2 hour

Serving: 5

Ingredients

• Minced chicken – 600 g
• Hard cheese – 150 g
• Egg – 1 pc.
• Provencal herbs – 2 teaspoon
• Bread crumbs – 3 tbsp
• Garlic – 5 cloves
• Bulb onions – 1 pc.
• Canned tomatoes in their own juice – 1 can (400-480 g)
• Olive oil – for the sauce
• Vegetable oil – for frying the meatballs and greasing the mold
• Flour – for rolling meatballs
• Sugar to taste
• Salt to taste
• Ground black pepper – to taste

Directions

1. Cooking meatballs. Add the grated garlic to the minced meat, a third of the finely grated cheese, eggs, bread crumbs, herbs, salt and pepper to taste. We knead well.

   

2. Divide the minced meat into 16-18 pieces. Cut the cheese into the same number of cubes.
   We make balls from minced meat. We stuff the pieces of cheese into balls of minced meat, pinch the hole, form a round meatball.
3. Dip the chicken meatballs and cheese in flour.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the meatballs on all sides until golden brown.

   

5. We transfer the fried meatballs to a baking sheet (in a mold) and send them to an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes (depending on the oven). Don’t forget to add some oil to the bottom of the baking sheet.
6. Cooking the sauce. Rub the onion and garlic on a coarse grater or finely chop.
   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. We spread the onion and fry, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add herbs, fry, stirring occasionally, for another 1 minute.

   

7. Add the tomatoes along with the juice.
8. Bring to a boil and simmer the tomato sauce, covered, for about 10 minutes. Add salt and sugar to taste.
9. Serve oven-baked chicken meatballs with cheese with cooked tomato sauce
