Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- ⅓ c rice
- 4 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion finely minced
- 1 medium carrot shredded
- 1 teaspoon thyme dry
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoon flour
- 2 tablespoon parsley chopped
For the Mustard Sauce
- 1 c chicken broth
- 6 tablespoon sour cream
- 2 tablespoon yellow mustard See the notes
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- To a medium pot add uncooked rice along with 1 ½ cup of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer, cover the pot and cook for 15 minutes until water evaporates and rice is soft.
- Remove from the heat, then transfer the rice to a large bowl to cool.
- While rice is cooling down, heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil in large non-stick pan and over medium heat.
- Add onion and carrot and sauté stirring from time to time for 5-7 minutes or until onion is soft.
- Preheat the oven to 360 F.
- In a bowl with rice add ground chicken, sautéed onion and carrot, thyme, nutmeg, garlic powder, salt, pepper and egg. Mix everything nicely and form 36 meatballs.
- Add flour to a large shallow bowl and dredge meatballs in flour.
- Heat 2 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick pan and sear the meatballs on both sides for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the meatballs in a large 2.5 qt greased baking dish.* (See the notes)
- In a small bowl whisk together all ingredients for the mustard sauce and pour it over the meatballs.
- Bake meatballs for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Notes
- Mustard
- You can use any mustard you have: Dijon or a combo of Dijon + Whole Grain Mustard will work here as well. I found that yellow mustard gives the sauce a brighter yellow color.
- Baking Dish
- My baking dish fit about 25 meatballs. I froze the rest of the meatballs for later. If you want to bake all meatballs at once, use 2 baking dishes.
