Baked Chicken Apple Meatballs
Description
This recipe blends minced chicken with grated apple and fresh herbs, including parsley and dill, adding moisture and a hint of sweetness to the meatballs. The onion is peeled and minced finely to integrate well into the mixture. Breadcrumbs and egg bind the ingredients, which are combined thoroughly to a smooth paste before shaping.
The meatballs are shaped on a floured surface with wet hands to prevent sticking, then coated lightly with flour before baking on a non-stick paper lined tray. Spraying them generously with cooking oil supports browning during baking at 200°C (390°F) for 30 minutes. Turning or shaking the tray midway assures even color and cooking.
These meatballs can be served on their own, with sauces, or as part of a larger meal. The recipe balances savory chicken with fresh herbs and apple sweetness, and the moist baking method ensures tender meatballs without frying.
