We are used to cooking meatballs in tomato based sauces, but what if we replace the latter with a thick creamy sauce that is stunningly combined with meatballs from meat, poultry and fish.
Chicken meatballs in creamy sauce
Ingredients:
For meatballs:
- chicken mince - 550 g;
- oat flakes - 35 g;

Preparation
Season the chicken mince and add the oatmeal with the egg and milk. Hands carefully combine forcemeat with other components, divide into equal portions, each roll and brown in a warmed saucepan.
Separately fry the mushrooms on the melted butter until they give up excess moisture. Fans of onion roasting can supplement mushrooms with onion rings and fry them together. To mushrooms lay out meatballs and fill them with a mixture of starch and chicken broth with fatty cream. Meatballs in creamy mushroom sauce should be cooked for at least 20-25 minutes or until cooked.
