Directions
- 1
Cut the chicken into pieces and blend in a food processor, blender, or hand mixer until you get a smooth, even mixture.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken with the egg, breadcrumbs, bouillon powder, onion, diced tomato, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
- 3
With slightly damp hands, shape the mixture into small balls, roughly the size of a walnut.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the meatballs in batches, turning regularly, for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown on all sides.

Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra juicy meatballs, stir a tablespoon of sour cream into the mixture before shaping. You can also bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes for a lighter, oil-free option.
