Minced chicken meatballs with rice

These minced chicken meatballs with rice and gravy are a dish for the laziest (busiest) housewives. The recipe with photo that I offer is extremely simple and economical. To prepare the meatballs, take ready-made frozen minced chicken, a handful of rice and an onion. But we won’t bread the meatballs in flour/breadcrumbs and fry them. We will immediately place the formed meatballs in the mold and send them to bake in the oven. And to make the meatballs especially soft, tender and juicy, before baking we season them with a simple but incredibly tasty gravy made from sour cream and tomato paste, with the addition of basic vegetables - onions and carrots. It turns out very tasty and simple. Try it!

rice – 100 g (cereal weight),
minced chicken (I have it ready-made, frozen) – 500 g,
onion – 2 small heads,
carrots – 1 pc.,
tomato paste – 4 tbsp. l.,
sour cream (10-20%) – 4 tbsp. l.,
water – 200 ml,
vegetable oil – 30 ml,
salt and seasonings - to taste,
bay leaf – 1-2 pcs.,
greens (dill, parsley) - a couple of sprigs.

How to Make Chicken Meatballs with Rice and Gravy

First of all, boil the rice. We need it half-cooked, so we wash the rice thoroughly and fill it with water in a ratio of 1:1.5; those. by 0.5 tbsp. I took 0.75 tbsp of rice. water. Boil the rice over medium heat until the liquid has completely evaporated. There is no need to salt the rice.

Next, the cooked rice should cool. Let cool. In the meantime, let’s prepare the rest of the minced meat for the meatballs. Frozen minced chicken - defrost, I put it in a micro for 10 minutes. to “defrost” mode. We chop one onion in any way convenient for you, I crush it with a blender-mill into a small cube.

When the rice has cooled completely, mix it with minced chicken and onions, add an egg to them.

Add some salt to the minced meat and season with seasonings/spices to taste and desire. I added a little paprika and seasoning for Korean carrots, a very successful mixture, in my opinion, suitable for almost any dish.

The minced meat for the meatballs is ready.

Wet our hands with water and roll the minced meat into balls the size of a small tangerine. We put them in a mold, preferably a deep one.

Next we make the gravy. I make it with vegetables - onions and carrots. If you don’t like vegetables in gravy (my children sometimes protest against such vegetable additions), you can skip this step. Chop the second onion into cubes, three carrots on a coarse grater. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the vegetables under the lid until soft.

At the same time, make the sauce: mix tomato paste with sour cream, dilute it all with water, add chopped herbs. If necessary, add some salt and season the sauce.

Pour the tomato-sour cream sauce into the pan with the vegetables.

Throw a couple of bay leaves into it and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes. Done.

Remove the bay leaves from the prepared sauce. Pour it over the meatballs and load the mold into an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees.

Bake the meatballs for 30 minutes, after which you can remove and serve.

The meatballs turn out juicy, tender, aromatic and very tasty! Bon appetit!

Sour cream sauce for meatballs

When the form is filled, add sour cream filling. To do this, mix sour cream and water in a separate bowl (it’s better to use boiled water).

If you want, you can add herbs, pieces of dried pepper or even sun-dried tomatoes to it. Pour the resulting sour cream sauce over the meatballs.

It should completely cover them. If you see that they remain open, add water directly to the mold. Let it bake for about an hour at 180 degrees. I don't preheat the oven. If you do this, the meatballs will bake faster than the rice added to them will be ready (it can be pre-boiled). Remove from the oven.

Serve either with a side dish or with vegetables. Meatballs prepared in this way in the oven in sour cream sauce turn out tender, soft and very tasty. I recommend trying this simple recipe, and your family will be very pleased.

Preparing a tasty and healthy second course, and one that everyone in the family, young and old, will like, is quite a difficult task. If your family consistently asks you to cook homemade cutlets, surprise them and prepare meatballs with a thick, tasty gravy. It’s up to you to decide what kind of topping you’ll use; we’ve prepared two recipes for the most successful creamy or tomato-based sauces and will show you in detail, with step-by-step photos, how to do everything, so that even the most novice cook can handle the preparation.

Minced chicken meatballs: ways to prepare a tasty, juicy and aromatic dish

Chicken meat is dietary, which is why more and more people who are trying to eat right are paying attention to it today. Many different dishes are prepared from it. Meatballs made from minced chicken are quite popular, and are enjoyed and enjoyed in many countries around the world.

The peculiarity of the dish is that for its preparation they always use additional components in addition to the meat itself. This could be rice, vegetables and even bread.

Each nationality, moreover, each housewife knows its own special recipe for preparing this dish, adding various ingredients to it that make it even more aromatic and juicy.

Classic recipe

Many people use it because this cooking method is simple to perform and requires a minimum set of ingredients.

To prepare classic chicken meatballs, you need to take the following products:

Fillet – 1 pc.;
Carrots – 1 pc.;
Spices;
Onions – 2 pcs.;
Rice - a glass;
Vegetable oil.

Pour water over the purified rice, taking these ingredients in equal parts. Let the mixture cook on low heat. Boil until the water from the container has completely evaporated. In this case, the container must be covered with a lid, and there is no need to stir the cereal.
Now to prepare meatballs with rice, wash the fillet, divide it into slices, and grind it into minced meat using a meat grinder.
We wash 1 onion, grind it using a blender or meat grinder, and combine it with minced meat.
Add cooled boiled rice to the mixture, add spices, mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Place the meatballs on a heated frying pan. You need to form them into balls, after wetting your hands with water.
Fry them until golden brown, which should appear on all sides. Place the finished cakes in a saucepan and fill with water.
Now the minced chicken meatballs, which we cook with rice according to the classic recipe, need to be stewed. To do this, wash the second onion and carrot, peel it, chop the second one with a grater, the first one with a knife, and sauté it in vegetable oil.
Transfer the resulting dressing into a pan where the dish will be stewed, add bay leaf and other spices to taste
Simmer the dish for about half an hour, initially making the fire low.

In tomato sauce

This recipe is also quite popular. When using this method, minced chicken meatballs cooked in tomato sauce turn out tender and soft.

Minced chicken – 1 kg;
Carrots – 2 pcs.;
Flour – 2 tbsp. l.;
Onion – 1 pc.;
Rice - a glass;
Raw egg – 1 pc.;
Greenery;
Spices;
Tomato paste – 50 g.

First you need to tackle the rice. Place the cereal in a frying pan, add enough boiling water to completely cover it, place the container on the stove, turning the heat to low. During cooking, it will absorb water, and if the initial amount of liquid is not enough, you need to add more. As a result, you need to bring the rice almost ready. Next, you need to drain it in a colander and leave to cool.
Now to prepare the meatballs in tomato sauce, beat the egg, add it to the minced meat, add the cooled rice here, and mix the mixture thoroughly.
Form meatballs and fry.
Wash and peel the carrots and onions, chop.
Heat the oil in a separate container, put the flour in it, stir it well to avoid the appearance of lumps. You need to fry the flour until it turns golden.
Now, to prepare the food in tomato sauce, add the onion to the flour, fry the latter until transparent, then add the carrots, continue frying until the vegetable becomes soft.
Add the pasta itself, spices and a glass of water, let the sauce boil.
Place all the ingredients of the dish into one deep container and simmer for about a quarter of an hour.

For 12-15 pieces, depending on size:

300 g minced chicken;
0.5-2/3 cups rice;
Salt - to your taste, about 1 level teaspoon or a little less;
A coffee spoon of sunflower oil - for greasing the mold.

Buy fillet minced meat: it is made from fillet breasts, there is no fat or skins, so the meatballs will turn out to be dietary. I took long rice - basmati, it is the most delicious, but any other rice will do: simple long, round. Salt to taste, maybe a little pepper.

Recipe for baked minced meatballs with rice:

Fill the rice with water at the rate of 2.5 parts of water to 1 part of rice (that is, for 0.5 cups of rice - 1.5 cups of water, volume 200 ml). Add a little salt and boil until almost completely cooked, when the rice becomes soft. I bring the rice to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and cook, slightly moving the lid so that it does not escape, and stirring occasionally until the water is absorbed. If the rice is still hard, you can add water and keep it on the fire a little more. Then turn it off and let it sit for 10 minutes.

Combine the minced meat with rice in a bowl so that the amount of minced meat and rice is approximately equal in volume. We wait until the rice has cooled to such an extent that you can knead with your hands, add salt and knead thoroughly.

Wet your hands in water, form round meatballs and place in a baking dish greased with vegetable oil. A shallow mold made of glass, ceramics or foil is suitable.

Place on a medium rack in an oven preheated to 200C and bake for half an hour.

Now the meatballs are ready - simple, isn’t it? And how delicious they smell!

The step-by-step recipe begins with processing the chicken fillet. The chicken is washed, cleaned of skins and excess fat and passed through a meat grinder.
Grate the carrots onto a fine grater.
Grind the onions in a blender until small chips and add to the carrots.

Recipe 1: minced chicken meatballs with gravy (step by step with photo)

500 g chicken fillet,
250 g rice,
130 g carrots,
100 g onion,
salt, pepper (to taste),
1 chicken egg,
bunch of parsley,
a tablespoon of sour cream,
tablespoon of tomato paste (you can use a third glass of tomato juice)
a glass of boiled water.

To make the dish light and low in calories, we advise you to use a Teflon frying pan. Otherwise, we will need a little more sunflower oil for frying.

Wash the chicken fillet and cut into small slices. You may ask, why do we cut it, you can grind it in a meat grinder? It is possible, but we will take the path of greater resistance so that the chicken meat can be clearly felt in the meatballs. If you also cut the chicken by hand, we advise you not to defrost it completely. Slightly frozen fillets are much easier to cut.

As for carrots and onions, now we only need half of both. Finely chop the onion and grate the carrots. Place the vegetables in a deep mixing bowl. We also send finely chopped parsley there.

We also add the chopped fillet along with the chicken egg and rice to the bowl with the vegetables. Salt and pepper the contents of the bowl and mix. We got minced chicken with rice and vegetables. Let's put it aside.

Chop the remaining onion and carrot halves again and lightly fry in a frying pan for 5 minutes. Set aside. We will add this frying to the gravy for the meatballs a little later.

Let's return to our minced meat. We rinse our hands with cold water so that the minced meat does not stick to them and begin to sculpt round meatballs the size of a quail egg. Place the meatballs in a frying pan and cook them for one and a half minutes on both sides.

Fry on the other side.

Place the finished meatballs in a thick-walled pan.

Let's start preparing the gravy. Add a tablespoon of sour cream, about the same amount of tomato paste (or a third of a glass of tomato juice) and a glass of water to the carrot-onion frying.

Stir and pour the gravy into the pan with the meatballs.

Place the minced chicken meatballs on a low heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes. If the gravy begins to evaporate, you can safely add another half a glass of water.

To say that the chicken meatballs turned out divine is an understatement! They can be served with a side dish of mashed potatoes, buckwheat or wheat porridge.

Recipe 2, step by step: meatballs with minced chicken rice

Chicken meatballs with rice are the easiest way to have a hearty and tasty dinner. Of course, meatballs are not only prepared for dinner. This dish can be served for lunch or even as breakfast.

We thoroughly wash the entire specified amount of rice several times in a bowl of cold water, then cook in slightly salted water until half cooked.
