Ingredients:

  • 500 g chicken mince
  • 100 g cooked or smoked ham
  • 100 g processed cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • salt
  • ground black pepper
  • a pinch of favorite chicken spices
  • oil for frying

Preparation:

  1. Put the chicken mince in a bowl, crack in the egg, add the breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and chicken spices. Mix everything well.
  2. Cut the ham into small pieces, and the cheese into strips or grate it.
  3. Form a flat patty from the chicken mixture. Place the ham and cheese in the middle, then carefully fold the edges and shape the meatball so that the filling stays inside.
  4. Place the meatballs in a heated pan with a little oil and fry on both sides until nicely browned. Then reduce the heat, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for another 10–15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
  5. Serve hot – when cut, the cheese inside should be pleasantly melted, and the ham adds extra flavor. Mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables, or favorite salad go perfectly with them.
