Chicken Balls Recipe

Adequate for babies nine months of age on up.
Makes 8 servings.

Ingredients
350 grams of chopped chicken
1 egg
2 slices of bread (50 grams)
100 cc’s of milk
1 medium sized onion
250 grams of tomatoes
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Flour
Salt (optional)

Preparation

1. Soak the slices of bread in the milk.
2. In a separate bowl prepare the dough of the chicken balls with the chicken, egg, crumbs of the slices of bread well drained and mix it well. If the mixture turns out to have too much liquid, add in a little bit of breadcrumbs.
3. Make the chicken balls very small because they will be tastier and flour them.
4. In a thick pan bottom begin to lightly heat the oil and add in the chopped onion (it should cook slowly, because if the onion burns it will cause it to have a bitter taste).
5. When the onions have turned into a transparent color, add in the grated tomato and allow it to cook for 10 minutes.
6. Once the cooking time is done, mash it and place it in a baking bowl along with the chicken balls and enough water to cover them.
7. It is important the chicken balls are completely flat otherwise they could stick and fall apart.
8. Put them to cook in the preheated oven at 180 degrees C. for around 30 minutes. If they start to brown on the top, cover them with aluminum foil.
9. If during the cooking process you see they need more water add a little bit of hot water to it.
10. Once done divide the chicken balls into serving portions and store the ones you are not going to use adequately.

It is not advisable to fry the chicken balls before cooking them, because they will be softer.

Do not stir the chicken balls while they are cooking.

The flavor will be enhanced if you use chicken broth instead of water.

It is always advisable to cook a floured food in the oven, as this will avoid it from sticking.
