Chicken Dalyan Meatballs

Hello Dear Friends,

Although Dalyan meatballs may seem a bit troublesome compared to other meatballs, it is actually quite practical because it is one piece and cooked in the oven. I would definitely recommend it if you want to prepare a main dish that contains many flavors and fills the table when your guest will come :)

Normally meatballs It is prepared as in my recipe. But dalyan meatballs prepared with chicken, that is, chicken mince, are also very tasty.

I add boiled eggs to the original recipe made with ground beef, but I only used vegetables for chicken. In addition to peas and carrots, you can also use boiled and diced potatoes in the filling.

Chicken mince is juicy compared to other mince types. You need to put more crumbled stale bread or breadcrumbs in it to prevent it from falling apart. Also, after grating your onion, you should squeeze the juice out as much as you can so you don't have to add more breadcrumbs.

I don't put tomato paste sauce on chicken dalyan meatballs, instead I add it to the plate when serving, but if you want, you can drizzle tomato paste on the meatballs in the last 10-12 minutes of cooking time to make it even browner.

Love…
