Creamy Chicken Meatballs with Mashed Potatoes

Prep: 30 mins - Cook: 30 mins
Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, for frying
  • 500 g chicken mince
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives
  • 1 tsp mixed dried herbs
  • 1 kg Agria potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 50 g butter
  • 100 ml warm milk
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 4–5 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, finely chopped
  • 150 ml chicken stock
  • 150 ml cream
  • ½ cup Thick & Creamy Cyclops Natural Yoghurt
  • A few handfuls of baby spinach leaves
  • 50 g grated parmesan
  • A handful of fresh basil and parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken mince, onion, garlic, panko, egg, chives, dried herbs, salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined (don’t overwork). Roll into walnut-sized balls.
  2. Place potatoes in a pot of salted cold water, bring to the boil, and cook until tender. Drain well, then mash with butter and warm milk until smooth. Season and keep warm.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Fry the meatballs in batches until golden on all sides (they don’t need to be cooked through). Transfer to a plate.
  4. In the same pan, stir in Dijon mustard and sun-dried tomatoes. Add chicken stock and cream, then bring to a gentle simmer. Return the meatballs to the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has slightly reduced.
  5. Remove from the heat and stir through the yoghurt and spinach until the leaves just wilt. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  6. Spoon mash onto warm plates. Top with meatballs and plenty of sauce, then scatter with parmesan and fresh herbs.
