9 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 1/8 pounds chicken breast
  • 3 potatoes medium, author s tip: use 2 regular potatoes and 1 sweet potato
  • 1 onion medium
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 leek
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • salt to taste
  • vegetable oil as needed

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook the chicken breasts and potatoes in water seasoned with salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
  2. 2
    Remove the ingredients from the water and drain well.
  3. 3
    Using a fork, shred the chicken and mash the potatoes. Place them in a bowl and set them aside.
  4. 4
    Using a food processor (or by hand, if preferred), grind or chop the onion, garlic, leek, and parsley. Once chopped, add them to the chicken and potato mix.
  5. 5
    Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, and a pinch of salt, and stir all of the ingredients well.
  6. 6
    Form the mix into small balls, just like meatballs, and set them aside.
  7. 7
    Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  8. 8
    Once it is hot, carefully place as many meatballs as can fit without overcrowding the frying pan. Cook until they are a nice golden brown and then place them on an absorbant cloth or paper towel.
  9. 9
    Repeat this process with the rest of the meatballs.
  10. 10
    Serve immediately (author s suggestion: serve with white rice and a tomato salad).
