Ingredients
- For the chicken meatballs
1 lb ground chicken
1 large egg
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
- For the sauce
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground thyme
1 pinch black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- In a food processor, pulse the sunflower seeds until they are a fine “meal” consistency.
- Transfer the sunflower seed meal to a bowl. Whisk in egg. Stir in rosemary, garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Add in ground chicken. Mix with your hand until well combined.
- Form 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls with the chicken mixture. Place them onto the lined baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until barely cooked through. Switch to broil and broil for 3 more minutes.
- To make the sauce, combine all the sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until thick and reduced in volume by half. Adjust salt to taste.
- When the meatballs are done, skewer with appetizer forks and drizzle the sauce evenly over them. Serve.
Notes
- When pulsing the sunflower seeds, make sure that you do not over-process them, you’ll make seed butter, otherwise. And, if the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with more cream.
