Recipe - Easy Chicken Meatballs

Ingredients:

• 550g chicken mince
• 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp chopped basil (fresh is best but if you have to use dried do 1.5 tbsp)
• 2 tsp dijon mustard (if you have to sub, seeded mustard is really the only other one you can get away with in my opinion)
• 2 eggs beaten
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• Olive oil for frying

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C
2. Throw all ingredients (except oil and bread crumbs) into  bowl and just keep on mixing so it’s evenly distributed
3. Add as many breadcrumbs as needed to make the mixture easy to work with i.e not runny
4. Shape the mixture into balls then refrigerate for 30 mins
5. Heat oil to med –high heat in a fry-pan
6. Brown the outside of the meatballs then pop them into the oven for 20 mins or so
