Ingredients
For the meatballs
- 500 g (1lb) chicken mince / ground chicken
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs (Use ½ cup if using Panko or Dried breadcrumbs)
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp fresh thyme
- 1 tsp parsley
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
For the creamy white wine mushroom sauce
- 4 strips streaky bacon chopped
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 250 g (½lb) mushrooms sliced
- 4 garlic cloves crushed
- ½ cup white wine
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 1 cup cream
Instructions
- Combine the chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, herbs, garlic powder, Parmesan, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix until well combined.
- Form meatballs with wet hands (this prevents the mixture from sticking to your hands). Preheat a large, deep pan over medium-high heat.
- Add a splash of olive oil then add the chicken meatballs and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove from the pan and drain the bacon fat.
- Add the butter to the pan with the onion, mushrooms and garlic and cook until the mushrooms are golden brown.
- Pour in the white wine and stock, scraping any sticky bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Allow to simmer for 2 minutes then pour in the cream. Season with salt and pepper and allow to come to a simmer.
- Place the meatballs (and any resting juices) and bacon back into the sauce then allow to simmer for 7-10 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the meatballs are cooked through.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or your choice of side dish.
